CONGRATS ON YOUR WL AND DEE DONT RUSH THINGS,IT WILL COME!!!!! LOSERS!!!!!!!!............... Vickie

Thank you Vickie!! I am trying not to fret, but sometimes it does get the better of me. I am trying to remember that I can NOT compare myself to others and that we are all individuals. I am having such a problem with my stomach, because as it grows smaller, it's beginning to hang more downward. I'm seeing this as very unattractive and am finding myself becoming self conscience of it. It's also pulling me forward and I'm beginning to have back pain something fierce. Doc Steiner told me that I'll need to see the plastic surgeon probably 1yr out, that I'm one of those patients that will need sooner than most. (as I understood him) Yesterday was mine and Mike's 4th wedding anniversary and we went to the Red Lobster. We ordered what we wanted and I couldn't believe how much food was left on our plates. Before surgery, there wouldn't have been anything left on the table and we'd would have added extra biscuits in the mix,plus an appetizer. After figuring up the calories and such, I was amazed that we didn't go over the top as much as I anticipated. (a plus---BIG TIME!) We had a good time and I'm ok with everything. I have to remember that this will work for me and I WILL succeed, because I am doing all that I'm supposed to. Thanks for asking! How are you doing toots? I've been so worried about you; are you feeling better? I hope we can talk soon! I miss you! Hugs to your family-- Dee P.S. I updated mine and Mike's profile; jazzing it up and all, so go take a look and tell me what you think.
