    • Hug

      From ilov2teach October 12

      Hi again. I'm not on here as much as I was before surgery or right after, but I do try to get on a couple of times a week. I haven't been to any more of the support groups, I should go!! I'll find out when the next one is. Now I'm down 64 pounds. It feels great, but sometimes it seems slow. I know that sounds silly, but I guess I just want results faster...lol. I have to be patient! When is your surgery? December? Have a good week ahead! Sheryl

      From ilov2teach September 7

      Hi there! When is your surgery? I'm doing well, 53 pounds down! My school year is off to a good start, (knock wood). Hopefully the school year goes as smoothly as the past week went. Good luck with all you have to do before surgery. Remember, it takes about a month before you feel "normal" again. It can be tough, but it's worth it!

      From ilov2teach August 18

      Hi again, I just got both messages. I won't be at the Sept. 1st meeting either. It's open house at my school. School starts for the kids the next day....26 seven year olds to take care of! The start of the new school year is sad, but also exciting. I don't want the summer to end, but what can you do? Hope you're doing well. I am! I'm down 46 pounds! Yippee!

      I have done every diet under the sun. Some more successfully than others. My weight has gone up and I have gained more than 100 pounds since I got married and can't live like this any more. I am out of breath, limp and can't go up and down stairs, keep on injuring tendons etc. and KNOW that this excess weight is causing this.
