i want the talk! lol i haven't lost enough yet. i haven't seen my family since Christmas and they were worried so i sent them my avatar picture. mom: "you need to wear your hair curlier" dad: "please send a full body picture of you standing up, i can't tell how you look" what a tough crowd! lol hang in there guys, everyone has an opinion, I've seen too many post ops regret stopping their weight loss on purpose and then having the 10 lb bounce back. i think you all look wonderful!!!!

Deb, thank you for your encouraging words,You are a blessing to me!!! And look at you with only 25 more pounds to go!!! Take care, Crystal

thanks, everyone for your kind words. He is still very tired and frustrated that he doesn't feel better. He is a real over achiever and this has thrown him for a loop. We went to the doctor again today and they did more blood work. We go to the nutritionist next week, the same one I went to before my surgery. Maybe that will get us on the right track. god bless you guys and gals! Deb

pfft. Doesn't it make you wonder what they were thinking when you were fat? My sister said to me last month that my face look gaunt and she could see my collar bones in the photos I sent to her. (She live in Louisiana) Well HELLO....she was so used to seeing my big fat round face for so many years. And I don't have that hump on my upper back/neck/shoulder area anymore so what do you want? aaaarrrrrggghhh. She has a friend who had RNY and thinks this woman is too skinny too. Now my sister has never had a weight problem in her entire life. My other sister used to have a problem keeping weight on. WTHeck (now at 49 yrs she is 'normal') Definately gotta plan a weekend down here girl!

Cleo, I am not sure but I am hoping it's between 5-10lbs LOL...... thank you so much for thinking and praying for me!! I think of you often too.....girl don't ever think you are bothering me!!! I love hearing from you!!! I am thinking after I have my surgery and am up and running around,when Jen gets together with you i might just fly down for a weekend to meet my girls!!! much love to you!
