Re: Heavenly One - Before & After!
I'm proud of you, H1!
You're an inspiration!
I hope to join you there in less than two years.
I joined WW the other day and have lost four pounds in less than a week.

Great job H1! |
LOL.....not cruel at all or wasn't meant to be. She has talked about needing/wanting to have it all removed in other discussions.
Of at least I'm hoping she knows what I meant -

First I want to say: "WAY TO GO!!!!!"
Second I want to remark about you having bypass.
Even though you had bypass you still had to change your eating habits after the procedure to make it a success. I know a person who had the bypass and did not change her eating habits and had temporary success. She is quickly getting her weight gain back. so again I say......"WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!"

She knew what ya meant & she talks about it herself. And you're right, if she had the extra skin removed, it would make a huge difference. Not only in her appearance, but in how she feels about herself as well.

I'm sooo glad you posted this. In 2001 I lost 86 lbs. (okay took me until 2003) but, I lost it. I didn't have surgery. BUT, people honestly didn't recognize me! I bet you have the same reaction from some. Anyway, I HATED when people said "Don't you feel better about yourself?" Know what I replied? "No, I felt good about myself when I was large. Did YOU feel differently about me?"
I know, I know, that was tacky. But, honestly, I was no different 86 lbs. heavier. I mean even health wise. One of my peers told me that I was "digustingly healthy" for someone that was so overweight. I'm only 5'1"....I was medically considered morbidly obese. But, I had decided that to avoid potential problems I should begin to be a healthy eater and UGH!!! EXERCISE!!!
So, CONGRATS H O to your choice of a healthier lifestyle! I'm with you girl!

Re: Heavenly One - Before & After!
HO
I hope you don't think that I was being negative about your having surgery. When I made the comment that I didn't! I certainly didn't mean that at all!
My cousin had the surgery and so has one of my best friends. You have to watch your eating habits and exercise just like someone who hasn't had the surgery. My cousin says "The surgery is a TOOL, not a QUICK FIX"! If you don't change your habits you CAN and WILL gain the weight back. I know 2 people who have! Yes, they had gastric bypass and regained their weight! It requires constant vigilance! Why oh WHY couldn't I have been born with an overactive metabolism?
Just wanted to clarify my statement!
