You are sooo right Edna... before you know it you will be in ONEderland and then whooosh the time will go and you will be to goal. And it happens so fast that WHOOOSH you are thin! It seems like it's happened like that for me. Like I went to bed and woke up thin. Even though you have a little longer wait you are so on your way and the time will go by so fast you will see what I mean. You'll look back on the time just before surgery and it will seem like no time at all. A year is really a short period of time... especially when you look back. And especially with so much excitement of losing weight and changing sizes and concentrating on changing our eating and exercising habits. So how does it feel to be thin? One of the things I am enjoying most is feeling normal. Being thin makes it so much easier to dress... even if it's throwing on a pair of sweats... I feel normal in them.... not fat and ugly and a spectacle. Being fat... you feel out of place... (at least I did) feeling thin... just allows me to be more like normal people. Does that make any sense? -Marianne

When I last saw my dietician at 4 months post-op she said I should be eating between 600-800 calories at this point. I usually eat between 800-1000 but I workout everyday and burn 350-450 calories doing that so my net calories are 350-450 a day. I've been losing steadily at 3 lbs. per week average since surgery. My next appt. with the dietician is March 11th and I'll be interested to hear what she says at that point.

Thanks Marianne, Wow your doing great, I wish I could say I was almost to goal, nut I am very HAPPY. I know it's just going to take alittle time, but we know how that flyes... So how does it fill to be a thin person??? does that sound wierd?? I just cant remember how it fills, and wonder if Im always going to think Im the BIG girl.. I dont know that I really ever thought I was Fat, even though I was, am..LOL.. Just thinking out loud.. I'm not really crazy, just filling alittle silly.. Take Care, and Thanks Again.. Keep up the good work, were on our way.. Edna
