Loser

Okay, I feel completely retarded. I've been on this site now since before my surgery, and I don't recall ever seeing this forum before. Crazy. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Katie. I'm 21. I had Open RNY last April. I've lost a total of 103 lbs (still fluctuates from time to time), and I'm at goal. Anyways, Just wanted to say hi to all the other 20 yo's, lol. hi!

Hi!! Just wanted to say congrats on being at goal. You look amazing! Welcome to this board!

Oh, you look so great Katie! I esp. liked the comparison cherry blossom festival photos, what a difference. You look so much more comfortable with yourself and outgoing at 100 lbs. down. Isn't that so strange how we all looked so somber in our various before photos? I was noticing that I rarely smiled much whenever someone did snap a picture at my higher weight. I avoided pictures as much as possible but when I did get in one, I never looked all that happy. Of course, back then, I totally thought I was happy. Or as happy as I could get. Anyway, you look lovely now. Just like a graceful ballerina!

awww, you are so sweet. Thank you for your kind words. I know how you feel though. Before surgery, I tried to avoid pictures as much as possible too, even family photos, and when I was in them, I was always trying to hide everything but my face (which is kind of hard to do when you weigh that much, lol). Anyways, yeah... definitely MUCH happier now. lol.

Hi! congrats on your loss! i hope i'm there a yr from now, i am 3 months out anf 50 llbs down.. but youe pi just made me wanna hit the treadmill ... so i will lol but anyway, welcome!
