Ok, my one year aniversary will be on January 20th and I told my Mom that I will have a party, well a get together to celebrate, but only with those who were supportive and have always encourage me to eat right to exercise and to keep on going which are three people who are not even family members, but you know how this things gomy question is, is having a party going kind of too far I mean people may think, "how conceited" but is not that is that I feel that have done a good job and for once in my life I want to celebrate a victory a very personal victory. What do you think????? Celines

NSAIDS - Non Steroidal Anti Inflamatory Drugs such as advil, bufferin, etc. ASA - asparin Unfortunatley, I am actually allergic to them and have an annaphalatic reaction to them. As WLS patientes, we are not supposed to have them and should stick with Tylenol.

Well I weighed 272 on the night of surgery and I am now 161 so that is 111/ I am still overweight by BMI standards but I feel awesome. I wanted to be 130 so that would of been 30 more lbs but I would be great with 140 so maybe another 20? I know someone mentioned that people feel they dont need to lose anymore and I am getting that alot as well. I tell them I weigh 161 and they think I am lying, why would I lye I would say 130!!!!!! My SIL thinks I should not lose anymore but I would love to be 130-140

Hey Sister! Look who is talking, you gorgeous thing you!!! You look so wonderful, can you believe its been almost a year already? What a ride, huh? I sure hope i see ya soon, tho am not sure i will be able to recognise you now, Miss purty lady! Donna

Lets pray for each other, I know exactly what you are going through! We just bought a house in Aug. and my husband got laid off in Oct. and I lost my job on 11-15! And I trying not to let the stress get the best of me, and I am trying not to eat or snack to much, however I do find myself not eating the way I am supposed to because of the depression. We have to keep a positive mind and keep faith in the Lord, for he will provide our needs and he will not give us more than we can bare! Things will get better for the both of us as long as we keep our faith in God. I hope you and your family have happy holidays in despite of what is going on. I will keep you in my prayers!
