Newbie Grad

I everyone! Dropping by since yesterday was my official 1 yr anniversary. Can't believe it's been a year already. It flew by super fast. Still have 11 pounds to loose, but I think I can do it. It's protein, protein, protein this week and tons of water. Hugs, Jane RNY 9/8/04 301/161/150 -140 pounds lost, but not forgotten

Happy Anniversary Jane! Congratulations on your tremendous success! Welcome to the grad board--hope you stop by and visit more often now. I still lost weight after my one year--then I had a small regain--but it can be done.

Hi Jane! Wow - what a success story you are! Congratulations, Happy Anniversary and welcome to the Grads board. I think you'll like it - it's a quiter, gentler place. And sometimes a great thread gets going that makes us all think - Tek (forgot the numbers, sorry) and Jay/PH/Nowhere Man can be particularly good at getting us going. But we have lots of lively members - and the kindest community you could ask for. I think the tone is very supportive, but also hey, let's take some responsibility for ourselves. We've all stumbled at least a bit but have learned a thing or two and are happy to share, or to say "Hey, I need some help here!". Drama Mamas/Pappas and Whiners probably find us unsatisfactory. And YOU BET YOU CAN LOSE THE WEIGHT YOU WANT SISTER! Your WLS pal, Bette Still Faceless After All These Years

Hi Jane, you will like this board, so much more said here that pertain to us but I still go to the main board daily. I am 16 months out and down about 130 pounds, it flucuates from 147 to 152, but for once this does not bother me.. Welcome to the boards Donna 277/150ish

Hey woman, Great to see you on this side. Keep up the great work, you look awesome! Hope things are going better on the home front, and look forward to seeing you again soon. Wendy

WoW! Congratulations on the SUPER, SUPER job you have done! I love your pic! I hope to get under 150 soon! I am going very S-L-O-W-L-Y. I have lost about 5-6 pounds since my 1-year anniversary on July 21, and I hope to lose about 25 more. I don't know how I'll do it, but I WILL do it! I know you will lose your last 10, too! May all of your WLS dreams come true! Hugs and happiness, Tammy

Hi Jane, Congrads on your wonderful weight loss. I think I have the answer to your constipation problem I was reading in your profile. Every evening I drink "SMOOTH MOVE" tea. I buy it in the Vitamin Shoppe or any health food store. I let it sit as the box says for 15 minutes, spice it up with Splenda and drink it. It has been the only thing that works for me. Good luck on your weight loss Lorraiine RNY 12/15/03......245lbs At Present............130 pds -115 pds "GOAL"
