Hi Tracy, I never knew you were so heavy before because I have seen your beautiful mug all over the boards and I have only seen you thin. The progress you have made is inspirational. Thanks for sharing. Also, we had our surgery one day apart. My surgery was 1/10/05 plus we started at almost the same weight.  Take care and sending you huge bear hugs.

1. Name - Judi 2. Surgery - lap RnY 3. Date 4-24-06 4. 10 months out 5. Highest - 267 6.  At Surgery weight - 260 7.  Goal weight - mine - 155  8. Current - 165 9.  Lowest - 165 10. Biggest struggle - Getting off the last 10 lbs,  Struggle that people call me thin, but I don't see thin. And all the compliments! 

Somebody knows what I'm talking about.  All of the compliments make me feel uneasy.  My weight is always a conversation piece and that drives me nuts.  Nobody else seems to understand. Lynn

I am finding that in time, people have stopped talking.  I guess the people that knew me before have adjusted to the new me, and the people that didnt know me before, think that I am just in good shape.  Time takes care of it.  Just know, that you are better than before!  :-)
