Hello all my Friends,
I have been away from the board for awhile now. Just stoped by to visit. Wow so many new faces! Welcome and I hope that you all are recieving the help and support that I did from this support. The day of surgery I weighed 155 pounds but I had just dropped 6 pounds that week so my true starting weight was 161. I had my surgery on May 1st of this year and I am now down to 173. 88 pounds. I started at a size 24/26 and I now fit comfortably in a size 12. I am so greatful for this surgery. I can now eat pretty much what ever I want to. I do have hair loss, and this don't sound to bad when you are new to this, but when you get to this stage it is a little scary. I am now intrested in getting a tummy tuck. So if anyone out there reading this has some information please email me at

My worse problem is that I don't dump and I have not been doing very good at avoiding the carbs and junk food. I do good all day then at night I want to munch. I always feel guilty and I sometimes wish that I did dump. But I am happy with the weight loss and I know as long as I am not eating our of purportion I should be okay. I still have some trouble with meat. It don't go down well and it just don't feel good. But I am trying to eat more and more everyday. Mostly because it sucks to lose your hair.
I was just recently told that I have MS. Don't sound fair now that I have lost all this weight. But I think what if I hadn't lost the weight. I know now at least I will be a skinny cripple. lol. Just a little morbid humor.
My husband I don't know about him. He is doing well as far as loosing weight. He is down 100 pounds. He had the surgery on May 24th this year. But I just found out that he is smoking. My heart hurts sooooo much. I almost feel as tho he has been cheating on me. I was so proud of the fact that he had stoped. His last cig. was on January 1st of this year. I wish he truely knew how much this hurts me.
Well all my friends, thoes of you having surgery coming up good luck. Things will be fine. This is a gift to yourself that you will be so greatful for. To all of my old friends I would love to hear from you. Anyone that wants to chat or has any questions please email me at

Sincerely Your Friend
