Hey! It's funny how our self perception is so different than what other's see. Let me explain....I know I've lost a lot of weight since having surgery. But when I look at my body in the mirror, I pretty much see the same shape/weight that I've seen for many years ...

Hello All,
They say time flies when you're having fun and it really does; I'm enjoying the healthier me. Besides having so much more energy and participating in activities that I never considered in the past, I'm able to wear clothes I haven't worn in many years (thank God I ...

3-5-08 Hi All, So I haven't had a chance to post in some time. I've been so busy with work (recently promoted ) and school besides the normal every day stuff with family and friends. Anyway, I still have pretty good restriction although I'm not as tight as I had been (thank goodness). ...

Fill Number 4

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 17:20:00 -0800

2-16-08 Hi, So on Feb. 6th, I went for my 4th fill. The doc put in .5 cc and thought maybe I was too tight. After a brief discussion we decided that we would give it a try and if I was having any problems, I'd come back for a small unfill. So ...

Going for fill # 4

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:33:00 -0800

1-21-08 Hi All, I decided that it's time for another fill. I've been batteling 2 to 4 pounds for the last several weeks and I think it's time for another fill. Because I'm not able to eat what I use to eat, I had convinced myself that I still had proper restriction. I ...

10-15-07 Hi All, Today, I'm wearing a size 22 dress pants. I haven't worn a size 22 anything in years! I should be happy right? Well for some reason that I can't put my finger on, I'm a lil sad about my weight loss today. I've been online all morning reading success stories ...
