Topic: RE: I LOL'ed at something I said today

I've been having fun dreaming in the "large" section and checking out some of the clothes.  I've even been finding myself going into the totally smaller clothes stores lately and just waitin' for someone to say something!!  lol   All in good time.  I need to take a trip back up into the attic, but it's so dang cold up in there.  I'm a pack rat (going to be changing now, especially in the "bigger" clothes dept) and have clothes that I've saved over the years, hoping to get back into them one day.  Crazy huh :-)

thank you Jill.  Now if I could just lose this dang belly.   I guess that is what has been with me the longest, so it'll be the last to go.  Although, I'm not having many issues with saggy skin just yet, except for my arms and inner thighs lol, but maybe i'll be one of the lucky ones. 

Mind you, in the 2nd pic, my shirt was tucked in and that always accentuates the rolls - lol - but it was done for picture purposes only.  I haven't gotten brave enough to walk around with my shirt tucked in, just yet  :-)

Topic: RE: I DID IT!
 Congratulations!!!!! I can't wait to be able to say I have lost 100 lbs! I still have 20 to go! It's tough because I still have problems with my portion control. I can eat WAY over the 2 ounces my doctors office said I should be still eating. I eat until I feel full. Normally that is about 6 ounces. I am super happy for you! YAY!!!!

Topic: RE: DS question
Thanks everyone for information and i am sorry if my question stirred up some troubles was certaintly not my intenetion i love my July'ers!
I was just a little curious about it because honestly i had never heard of it until i came to this board since it wasn't even an option for me i didn't know what it was and someone at the seminar had said her mother had it years ago when it first came out and that they had removed most of her intestines so i was just trying to clear it up cause i didn't think that could be right.  
Thank you everyone for the information you gave me.

Love you guys !

We'll maybe you were not over 400 lbs like my friend was and had to be split as if he had open heart surgery.. since most patients that do this surgery  BM1 are normally over 55.. but he repeatly has occurence of loud gas.. bowel movements up to 4 times per day.. you should check this clinic link.. same statements from one of the few DOC;s conducting  this surgery ..also even thought is can be done lapo it takes a longer healing period that's, because of the increase chances of infection  because of the greater length of intestines that are bypassfor this.. I thing I don't try to do is be a know it  but some people think that once the have surgery their version is only the right way and they have a PHD on the subject ... you and everyone on the website are learning the new life we now have..believe me there are many information, and views by many DOC's, and people alike.. just like I do not agree with everything you state, but it is American and you have a right to state anything whether it is right or wrong.. just like you feel like something I said where wrong , I feel like somethings you give in your statement is mis-informed.. so whatever you take from my statement is your view.. what ever suits you go for I just decided not to do because of the greater risk of infections, and healing time... good luck with your weight loss .. and feel free to always visit JULY RYN board we all get along here.. and NO we don't want no drama.. good luck and this will be the end of my final statement.. I will not respond to not additional response.. which we shouldn't WE HAVE A NEW LIFE TO LIVE GIRLIE.."
Peace & Luv
