    Can I add you as a friend? Not sure how to do that but I would like to. Maybe you know how to do that. Someone else sent me a friend request and I just had to okay it. Could we do that? I enjoy reading your posts and looking at your pics.

    Hey you, How are you doing? I see you're in the 140's. Lucky dog! I'm still in the 160s, but I'm happy about that. I'm still losing so I can't complain.

    Wow, Lizzie! Just reading your info. Can't believe you lost 100 lbs in 4 months! I'm just starting out and my surgery date is August 18. I currently weigh 301. Hoping to lose 100 before my 50th birthday next March. I'm getting nervous already, but you are an inspiration!

    Hey girly! I see you're under 170 now. You must feel awesome. My wl has slowed, but it's still going down, so I have no regrets. Hope to see you next week.

    Liz, Things are going well. I hit 5 weeks out as of yesterday, and I really had to look hard this morning when I was in the shower to locate my incision sites.

    I go back to see Andrea a week from today, when I will go on soft foods, and, God willing, I will be able to start exercising again.

    I haven't dumped yet, although it's been REAL close. I ate one baked, uncoated except for Emeril's Essence, chicken tender, while watching WrestleMania. I had eaten already, before friends came over. I thought I had chewed it good, but I must not have. I was a hair's breath away from running to the bathroom and throwing up. It didn't let up until yesterday morning. And yesterday, I had opened a Jelll-o SF pudding cup. I took one bite, and my stomach immediately hurt. I ended up throwing the rest of that cup away, and I told Michele the rest of the unopened cups were hers.

    Hey Liz. I was going to go but got lazy. I'm all over the pneumonia and am feeling great. The weight loss is slow but steady and I'm back to working out again. Can't wait for it to warm up a bit so I can do some more walking. We've been busy looking at campers. We bought some land last year down by the Finger Lakes and we're going to put a trailer on it and hopefully spend most of the summer there. Since we both work from home, as long as we have internet, water and electric, we can pull it off. We have a couple of wells and electric is already on the land, so we'll see.

    How are things going with you?

    Hey Liz. How's it going? I'm still stalling. I lost 7 pounds in a week then nothing for 2 weeks. Being sick threw me for a loop, but I'm back in the groove again and feeling much better. You're just wasting away, girl!

Well it will be 10 months on Monday 8/31. I am 141 lbs right on the nose! No longer overweight, just inside the normal range for my height. OMG - I never imagined. Actually I remember last year trying not to daydream about what it could be like or where I would be after the surgery. I was very intent on the process at hand and trying to keep up with the doctors and the insurance.

I am here 10 months later, through a lot of bumps in the emotional road, but I am about 104 lbs down...

It's been a popular question lately. Should I look into to plastic surgery for my middle or not. My best guess, is that I have about 5 - 7 lbs of skin and fat around my middle. I am sure not comfortable with my body clothed and naked is even worse. I don't want my DH to look of touch me... But how can I afford the cost of surgery? Ball parking the cost at $6,000 - $8,000 for the lower body lift + additional money for the 4 - 6 weeks recovery and being out on disability. That's a whole lot of money...

I have asked this question many times over the last year or so. I find that I continually measure myself against some standard that I don't even know how it was set. Who's damn yard stick is it and why do I feel the need to be measured or measure myself against it. It seems that I continue to set myself up for failure by compare myself to this "thing" - whatever it is.... Logically I know that you can not compare people as everyone's personal experience is what makes everyone unique. ...

It will be 9 months to the day of my surgery on Friday 7/31, and I am afraid.

I am afraid of the things I know I can eat, I am afraid of my lack of control over the food and my emotions. I am afraid of gaining weight.

I thought I knew. I really thought that I would not have this problem. What was I thinking? How dumb am I? I used to read other people's journeys and read their struggles and strife, and I thought not me...

Yeah, no .. thought wrong. my...

I am 8 months out, nearly 8 1/2.. and I am scared. I am afraid of myself. I am afraid of messing this up, I am afraid of not losing more, I am afraid of the person I see in the mirror .. and no one understands.

Everyone assumes that I am happy to have lost 100 lbs. I should be SO much happier to be thinner and feel better. I guess that is part the misconception - I don't necessarily feel better. I am still uncomfortable in my own skin. I hate to have my DH look at me naked. I am more...
