Don't leave us !!!!!!! You are doing great and there are those of us

that need to hear from long term WLS winners.

Please keep posting as often as you feel like it, I for one am here for you

to talk to.

I haven't gotten to have the MGB yet but am still hopeful, I have about

20 pounds to lose first.

with the help of MGBsurgery by Dr. R

If you see someone without a smile,

Give them one of yours.

If you and I should meet and

you forget me, you have lost nothing.

If you meet JESUS and you forget him,

you will have lost everything.

This is wonderful news....115 lbs in 11 months?? Congratulations!

Try not comparing yourself with others, for every body is different. I am only

2weeks post-op and I only hope to be in your shoes and be able to profess the

same great weight loss. Keep us posted!

didn't list the surgery. The depressing thing to me is that she went from 315

to 145 in one year. She weighed exactly what I did on the day of surgery and is

the same height. I sure am not going to be there in one year, maybe not ever.

I said when I started this journey I would be happy if I could get in a size 16,

(which happened quite awhile ago,) but if I am honest I am not happy about my

size and I am still in a size 16, 18 or even a 20 in some things. I told a

friend recently that I get to about this point where everyone is starting to

make positive comments and this is normally where the weight starts to come back

on. I have thought about unsubbing to the list because I don't post very often

and everyone else seems to have so much more t!

!

o offer but...here I still am. As I think about this I think a lot of it is for

about two months I have thought I was going to go below the 200 mark and I am

still not there yet. Of course as my DH pointed out it has only been the last

month and one half that I have really even had any regular exercise and that has

been in the form of bike riding several miles 5-7 times a week so I probably

have no one to blame but myself. On the upside I went back over my weight loss

journal and I have successfully lost every month since Dec. although it hasn't

always shown up on my scales. I get weighed monthly at the dietician and hers

has always shown a loss and for this I am eternally grateful because had I not

chosen to have WLS I would probably be many pounds heavier rather than be almost

115 pound lighter at 11 months.

We're all in here together!
