Hi, I come here every now and then just to see what's happening. I don't know if you're aware or not, but there's a great board going on http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/wls_singles/. It' says it's a singles board but there are people single, dating, married, etc. that frequent it. Check it out sometime if you haven't all ready. Theresa

Hi Bren! My name is Tonyia. I live in Chambersburg, PA and my surgery date was March 13, 2006 and have lost 40 pounds myself. This is a very tough time, but you'll get through it. I hope your family is very supportive, you need to have a great support system to help get you through. and Congratulations on the weight loss. You go girl and keep up the wonderful work

Nice to meet u Tonyia! You know I have a question for u since we are pretty close in surgery dates, do u find yourself with more of an appetite these days? and have u found that u can eat more? I am thinking its PMS, But 10 or more days before I start I get so hungry and the cravings are just horrible. once I start, I am not hungry at all....... Bren

Hello, it is nice to meet you! I had a difficult time after the first couple of months, I wondered why I needed to go through the surgery, and have my stomac made smaller, I couldn't help thinking that way for some reason. As time passed though I was proud of my self, and felt good and well, I am 6mo. out and have lost 80lbs which is sorta an average lose as far as I can tell. You are doing so well I am proud of you, Best wishes. Julie Ps. I need to up date my picture but don't know how......
