Topic: RE: Pre-op People
Xico,
I am post op, but I understand the nervousness. It is normal and trying to get the pre op weight off was trying for me. It took me almost 8 months to lose the 14 pounds I needed to lose pre-op. But I did do it, and you will as well. You will get through your journey at your time! I had some set backs and tears were shed, but when it happened I was ready for it. I hope this helps and welcome.

Topic: Pre-op People
Hello, I am just beginning my journey; I am going trough the Portsmouth program. I am looking to connect with other people that have ideas or strategies as to how to reach my surgery goal weight. I think this is a great forum, but it seems as though most people posting are post-op (very inspirational!). But I'm also hoping to hear from others like me that are pre-op and nervous. Thanks! Xico
Topic: OMG It is really real
OK so today is my 6 month surgiversary, and yesterday I hit a huge milestone I have now lost 100lbs. I can't believe it is real, I look at myself and my head has not caught up yet. I can't imagine being 268 anymore, how did I let myself get there? I know what I need to do to stay where I am and how to lose a bit more, but I am soooooo HAPPY
I am going out Friday night and I bought a new "DRESS" something I would never have done before I can't wait for hubby to see it
Thank you to everyone who has helped me along this journey and a special thanks to my angel above, because with out her strength I would not have made it this far. Love and miss you Mom.

I posted a before and after pic to my profile. I couldn't figure out how to put it in the post itself. 60+ lbs. down and counting!

Topic: RE: ???? am I nuts or what
Thanks everyone!!! My next test is fudge for the holidays. I always make fudge for my family, and they have already asked if I am still making it this year. I also sell some at work, so this may be tough, but I think I am doing OK with cooking and things. I am working on some sugar free and lower sugar recipes and such for Hubby and I. I know things need to fit into our lifestyle and food choices need to work for us. Thanks again everyone it has been a roller coaster and I am loving the ride.
