I miss you all. Life is just busy which I am focused on. I use to live on OH and now
I just dont have the time to spend here like I use to. OH was wonderful in my first year.
Now I am learning just how to live life.  I will always come back and revisit and read all
the people who are just having surgeries to remind me where I came from.  I need you.
My thinking has changed and I am grateful for you all. 

I am very Happy its going to rain today. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay and I totally look forward to make my first corn been and cabbage.  About me, I am maintaining my weight, still into green smoothies, I still have not touched recreational sugar, I do eat a wide variety of foods. I am 85% clean and the other 15% I endulge.  I do eat more for sure and the scale keeps me in line. I have been the same weight for 7 or 8 months now.  So I would think I am in maintenance even though I have never reached my number goal. I just feel like I am at goal. 

I just have to remember even though alot of people will be skinnier than me, not to compare myself to them.  Its not a race of who is skinner or the lowest weight.  For me its just being happy with myself as to where I am at.  and guess what...   I am happy.   If I start to compare myself to you,  I start to beat myself up and that is not a very good thing for my self esteem.  Today I learn to love myself and today I do. I lost about 102 pounds and I feel amazing!!!!

The only thing I wish, is that I didnt have loose skin.  The light weights that start out low are lucky because some dont have skin issues and I have to admit I am jealous of that. I decided not to get a tummy tuck but who knows what the future will bring.  I would like some boobs though. Saying it and doing it are two different things.  We will see.

Happy St. Patty`s Day All!!!!!!!

Happy St. Patty's day, Mary!

Miss you on here but totally understand you are focusing on living your life.

As far as not "hitting your goal weight", that number is useless. You are so beautiful, you look perfect, and your skin shows your outward health so as far as im concerned, you reached "goal" and surpssed it!!!

You have done great.

I know, I still owe you pictures, I have been crazy getting ready to leave the country for vet school but I will show you how everything is looking.

You have the rest of your life to decide on plastics, but I know personally for me it made a huge difference in my life and im happy i did it. I dont even remember the pain and discomfort. Its a very personal decision and no need to ever ru****

Anyhow, we miss you!

Hi Doc!  Happy St Patty's day to you too!

I echo everything you've said!!  I feel like I should be farther than i am right now.  Others who had surgery around the same time are at goal or have lost more, blah blah blah.  BUT, I keep reminding myself that I've done really well and I have lots to be proud of.  So do you!

Enjoy your day!

Mary, you are just too cute gurl. I missed you at the support group meeting last Tuesday. Yes, I decided to still go even though you had to work. I asked Javier, the dietitian if he knew who you were (of course he did!) & he whipped out some before & after pics of you. He said that you look even more amazing in person. Soooo girl, I hope to finally meet you at the 3/31/12 meet up, ok?
You have done such an amazing job & you've been such an inspiration for me throughout your journey. Take care & congratulations on all your success!!

Huuugs,
Mary

Hey Mary!
My check up went great! Both the nurse & dietitian said my weight loss was more than most sleeve patients at 6 1/2 months. Kinda weird since I see more people on OH who have lost about 20 pounds more weight than me at this point but maybe Kaiser's expectations aren't as high? Both said they can see me reaching goal so I was happy about that.
I hope you can make it to the meet-up but if you have to work, I'd like to attend another support group meeting with you so we can meet.
Take care!
Jenn.
