Do you all really have that much skin? I have lost 120 lbs and yes I have skin but not enough to be "medically necessary" to have insurance cover it. I have had a rash in my belly button 3 times but after 2 days it's gone. So tell me everything so I have my skin removed too! I have about 2-3 lbs I guess I have no idea. My arms are in good shape it the gut after having twins 3 years ago and 315 lbs the day I delivered the boys and now I weigh 168. Tell me everything I need to know. I want it too! Tammy

Topic: RE: As we look back....

What a wonderful post my Texas friend. You really put what Ive been feeling into words, hard to believe that so much time has passed since we started this journey and to look back and reflect on our "new selves" and the second chance that we've been blessed with is truly an amazing thing in itself. Christmas was wonderful, full of happiness, smiles and ENERGY. Between the shopping and baking (and yes sampling the baked goodies too), its been wonderful. We are truly blessed. I look foward to continuing on this untreaded territory with everyone in 2007. Ive been away for a bit but plan on keeping in touch as my New Year's Resolution. Merry Christmas everyone and here's to yet another wonderful year ahead of us! Deb

Topic: RE: Ok I am angry

I have been gone, and do not know what you are talking about, but can only surmise... I have been battling feelings of anorexia, combined with overeating at times. I beat myself up, because I had my intestines rerouted, and don't ever want to go back. Last night my daughter showed me a picture of my presurgery self in a bathing suit. I felt so sick that I ever let myself get that way. Felt sick that I struggle with feelings of wanting to overeat vs. anorexia. Everyone's battle is different, Andrea, but the same thing remains. WE Will always have a battle, between our ears, and in our hearts. Thank you all for being here through that battle.And I am so sorry I am touch and go on here. Life has been funny.

Topic: RE: News from Me!

Wow sounds like a great trip. I know you can do it. I am below goal now, but it is such a mind game to keep it off, and not get "anorexic" at the same time. You look great! Channon, where have I been? I had no idea? Things certainly change for us now...talk to me girl.
