Hi everyone!
This week has been one of the toughest weeks I've encountered with eating since surgery. I've found myself stress eating. I VOWED I'd never do that again! I can see how easily we all can fall back into old habits. Today is another day, BACK ON TRACK I go! I didn't gain this week, but I didn't lose either.
Highest known weight: 254
day of surgery: 221
surgery date: August 2, 2007
today's weight: 150
total lost: 104 lbs
Have a GREAT week everyone!

Woooohooooo!! A positive media plug for gastric bypass surgery! I'm checking to see if the broadcast is online anywhere for you to see it if you missed it. I'll post back as soon as possible.

Congratulations on all your successes, Tamara! It is hard to believe it has been almost 8 months since my surgery. I have lost 90 lbs since surgery and 60 during the 6 month pre-op before. None of us is ever totally satisfied and think we should have lost more. LOL I'm pretty darn happy and I imagine your life has changed dramatically also!

This site is a blessing to me. I am so happy to hear everyday about people who did the same thing I did and all the experiences they encounter are many I encounter too. I look forward to this journey, and seeing the results of everyone else too. It helps to know people out there are feeling what I am feeling and struggling with things I struggle with too. I am 1 lb. away from Dr. goal and 9 lbs. away from my personal goal. Sometimes it just seems surreal. A true blessing, but sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure this is real. To everyone, I say, we all should be proud. I thank you for your support and friendship and I wish everyone the very very best. GOD BLESS each and every one of you LOSERS !!!!
