Ruth, yes, I sink now, too! *laugh* Just not as bouyant as I used to be, I guess. Have fun in Hawaii, I wish *I* was going!

Hi WLS folks. Happy holidays and may God grant you a prosperous New Year! Okay for my update --- I have just weighed in at 195 lbs!!! It's been over 16 years since I've been under 200lbs. My surgery was on July 13, 2001 & I weighed 257lbs. Needless to say, I thrilled to life. Hopefully I'll knock off another 5 lbs or so before I take off to Hawaii on Jan. 17th. God bless everyone on this site & those who just read & don't post. I seem to only be able to get here about once a month, but my thoughts & prayers are with you always. - It is sooooo good to be able to sit with my legs crossed for prolonged periods of time & be able to breathe (LOL)!! Peace & Blessings.

Hi WLS family. I just want to update you on my progress and ask your help with a problem I'm having. Last week I weighed in at 202 lbs!!! I'm down to about a size 16. Now about my problem: GAS!!! I don't mean to sound gross, but lately I have been suffering from a lot of gas. Before it only if I drank apple or grape juice or ate fresh grapes. Now it's constant no matter what I eat. I'm thinking that maybe I'm not digesting my foods right?? I don't know... All I know is that it's terribly embarrassing at work, in church, in class, walking, etc... Has anyone else experienced this?? I need HELP!!!!! (groan)

Hey folks, today I went for my monthly check up with my primary & to get my B12 shot. I weighed in at 214! Thank God for WLS. Give thanks for today...that's why we call it the present. Peace and blessings.

Today I'm amazed! I put on a pair of size 18 pants. I can't believe it. My surgery was on July 13th & I was a size 26. Today an 18!!! I knew I was losing weight, but I really couldn't tell it in my clothing. Now I have nothing to wear! :) I'm an accountant & need business clothes. If anyone has some size 14-18, I would welcome your donation. I have some clothes size 22-26. If anyone can use them email me at '[email protected]'. God bless all pre & post-ops. Peace & blessings.
