Hey everyone just thought I would stop by and say hello. Well we are all almost 1 year out. What a year it has been too. So what now?? For me I plan on living everyday to the fullest. We all have done so wonderful. I am so proud of all of us. I still have about 10 more lbs to go but I know I will get there. I wanted to weigh 150 before 10/20/06. Right now I am at 160. Who knows maybe I will get there maybe I want. I know I will one day. Everyone take care Hugs Mary

Hi my name is Connie and I'm new to the chat room. My fiancee always keeps telling me to stop looking in the mirror and picking at my self because of the loose skin and saggy boobs. He also says I look great and said the same when I weighed 240. But how he felt is not the reason why I had the surgery it was about how I felt about myself and my health issues. You have every right to feel the way you do thats exactly how I feel I'm not saying it's right but I don't think we can help ourselves. I went from a size 24 to a 8 and all I can see is the extra skin my breast were once a perky size C now I wear a padded B and am probably an A instead of perky I have and 80 year old womans boobs. How sad is that I'm only 33 years old. Even though most everyone has the surgery for health reasons I still feel we have certain expectations on how we will look. When I look in the mirror I do not see a skinny person I see someone who looks good in clothes and would give people nightmares when naked. I know their is a skinny person in their still just waiting to get out. Now what can we do about it in most cases no amount of exercise will get rid of the skin it will help though. Surgery? Hell yah! but now you need to come up with the $$$ But eventually we have no choice but to accept how we look otherwise we will be destroying ourselves and our relationships. If we can go through this kind of surgery and life change we can handle a lillte or alot of hanging skin atleast until we can do something about. Think positive look in the mirror and say I'm beautiful and I'm fabulous and work on the things you can change in your life like your attitude instead of things you cant change. Good Luck!

Yes, yes, yes! I have been tired and all of my levels were ok last month according to my doctor. I do take an iron supplement and it was toward the lower end of the recommendations, but still ok. I've noticed that I was on a major stall and now I'm losing again, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I feel like I should take a nap everyday, but with 3 kids and a full time job that's not going to happen Good Luck - I'm going to keep an eye on this post to see if anyone else has some info for us tired losers!!
