I could use some "your not alone stories from people around the same stage as me" good and bad, I need a reality check!

I'm there. I had surgery In April 2008. I've lost 130lbs and at 150lbs. So far I haven't had a problem.

Although I still throw up if I eat to fast. But that's my fault.

I still look at myself and see "fat Liz" however I'm wearing an 8.

my hubby is still very suportive, and doesn't complain that my breasts look like pancakes. I fold them up origami style to put them in my bra cups.

Hey I had surgery October 2007. It was the best deicison I ever made. I still have 50 more pounds to lose but I have lost 134 lbs so far. The next step for me is getting rid of all this loose skin that I have flapping all over the place.

Hubby very supportive and tells me constantly how sexy I look now. Started at 326 am now at 202 with a goal weight of 150 lbs. At my age though, that is going to be next to an impossible goal to achieve!!!

However, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I am healthier and much happier than I have been for a long time.
