Congratulations on your WONDERFUL loss. It's a miracle, isn't it? I'm really glad I shared my phantom panties story. It makes me laugh, too, especially when I relive those panicked thoughts in my mind about what to do once I knew the nurse knew! I can't believe I made the decision to just continue the charade (literally a charade!). Take care of yourself and keep posting! :) Kate, with real panties on!

Congradulations! Luv Cyndi

<P>No matter how much you love everyone here almost from day 1 and no matter how many times you say, "I'm not suddenly going to vanish from this, my home away from home, when I'm postop," after surgery, it will happen. The thinner you get, the busier you get! Please, some distant postop write and tell me when I finally learn to relax a little again? :-)</p> <P>What I couldn't have dreamed of as a preop, was just how much my life would change as a postop. Sure, I probably saw those exact words typed on these pages a hundred times or more in the two years it took to get surgery. But until you lived through the changes that naturally accompany drastic weight reduction, you can no more imagine <B>them</B> than imagining what it would be like to be a member of the opposite sex.</P> <P>Try to imagine that life is a ballet. Now imagine trying to dance through your life on tiny ballerina feet but weighing in at your highest weight. Then suddenly you feel yourself being lifted from behind and you stay in the air with your back arched in a graceful, suspended leap. That is the difference!</P> <P>Listen, postop doesn't mean you care less for this place or the people. We still pray for, cheer for, cry with and love, all of you as much as ever. But we had this surgery so we could LIVE. So it's only natural to want to do some of it.</P> <P>I'm praying for everyone here. Your turn will come. You all are the best!</P> <P>Do something to make someone smile today.</P>

Rhia, You are doing wonderfully! Congratulations on joining the century club! You need to take 1200 MG of Calcium CITRATE every day. It's best used in the evening and never take it with your multi-vitamin. Vitalady.com has a calcium citrate, magnesium and Vit D capsule that you can take. Good luck!
