Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi all: I just lost 100 lbs today, I am 5 months post-op and I am so exicted. I remembe it has been at least 10 years since I have been down to this weight. I went to a party Saturday night, I wear a black lacey skirt (that was just above my knees and I found on cleance for $7) and a red strechy blouse I found at Lane for $4 and panty hose (which I have not wear in probably over 5 or 6 years) and black heels. I had my hair done and all and everyone that saw me said, " Tammy, is that you? " I felt so good about myself, something I haven't felt in a long, long time. I almost started to cry thinking I didn't ever think I would get a chance to be thinner aagain. Boy, my husband's jall fell to the floor when he saw me come sown the stairs Saturday (that also made me feel that I was pretty in his eyes too, even though he says I was always beautiful to him no matter what size I was, isn't he sweet?) Wow, I cannot wait until the next (or last) 100 lbs go, I won't know what to do with myself (and neither will my husband, he is already getting insecure about all the weight I've lost already) But I just keep on reminding him that yes, my life is changing and I will have people (men) looking at me and it has been such a long time since men turned their heads to look at me, it will feel good at first and than it will wear off (I don't tell him that I really love it though, I will try not to make it so obivous that I like it so much) Outside, I will say, oh that's nice and inside I will say, YEEHAA!!!. I am sure alot of you gals and guys have felt the same way after losing that and more amount of weight. My husband I like doesn't understand that, I use to be thin and very pretty and when I gained so much weight, I felt like a beached whale and thought I was so ugly. But anyway, I just wanted to share this with you all. I hope others will share their experiences with me and anyone just having the surgery done, don't worry, you're time will come, and it is hard at first but the benefits are weigh worth it in the long run. I when from having high blood pressure and hypertension with high cholestrol and being on meds for both to normal blood pressure and the cholestrol went from 235 before op to 99 after op. I went from having no energy to anormous energy. Thanks for listening and God Bless everyone! And remember all He is the one who gets the Glory for all of this happening to me not anything I ever did. Tammy Ricci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi all, This would be my first e-mail to all of you. I'm also at work so I will try and respond as quickly as I can. I'm was sooooooo glad to find out that there is a support group for bypass patients. My surgey took place December 19th 2001. Since that I have lost 105 lbs. I'm about 10-15 from my goal. I haven't been to concerned about it as being in a 12 is just fine with me for now. I might focus on the last few pounds this summer. I'm going to get right to the point. I'm 40 years old, married going on 23 years and I have 2 boys. My oldest will be 16 and my little guy will be 9. For about the past 18 months my weight loss has changed my life.....not for the good, however I continue to work at it. I have had a number of affairs of which one lasted 7 months. I never knew how good it would feel having good looking men want me !!!!!! I have confided in my Gynecologist and she has been very helpful. I just know that I'm not the only bypass patient out there that this has happedned to. Ity would just help to talk to somebody who has or is dealing with this.... Thanks for listening !!!!!! Any advise will be accepted ! Sonja yeehaaa-lost 100 today Hi all: I just lost 100 lbs today, I am 5 months post-op and I am so exicted.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Where is your loyalty to your 23 year marriage? Sorry, but I just don't understand how you could do that to your lovely " family. " Don't mean to be critical but morally it is wrong, hope you will consider what will happen to your " family " if you are found out. Please think real hard about what you are doing it not to late to make it right by putting an end to this affair. You said any advice accepted and this is my advice.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I'm in agreement. As one who had been cheated on in the past, I know how it feels when you find out someone who supposedly LOVES you has been seeking satisfaction elsewhere. Where is your conscience??? Do you feel bad that you're doing this to your family? If you really cared about them at all, you'd stop your behavior right this instant, tell your husband and seek counseling! You asked for our opinions! T. Lap RNY 6/20/03 432/246/170 Houston, Dr. Adam Naaman Visit my homepage at http://users3.ev1.net/~leeds/ " I will find my way, I can go the distance.
