Joy,
I'm so happy that you added me as a friend! You can never have too many! I'm praying for you that your surgery is scheduled soon - the wait can be endless! You have a very, very positive attitude and I'm sure you'll do just fine. I've really had no problems - other than the fact that those "old habits" bow their heads every once in a while and cause a little tummy upset. But what the heck? I've lost 101 pounds in 9 months. I still don't believe it myself. I guess I was in total denial about how much I really needed to lose. My only advice to you from this end is to exercise, exercise, exercise! I suppose I thought I didn't need to lose this much so I DIDN'T. And everything they tell you about hanging skin is sooo true! It's not terrible, but man, I hate to put shorts on! The inside of my thighs look like sand bags - yuck! I'm going to start now to see if I can correct some of it. Keep your fingers crossed!
Let me know how you're doing and if you ever have any questions. I think I've been through it all (probably not...), but maybe I can give you some insight.
Have a great night and an even better weekend!
Mary
