Hi Dee,

Yes I feel the same way about my weight although no one ever guesses that I weigh as much as I do. I am usually unable to attend the support meetings because I am still working at 530, its a little too early for me Sad However I might try and go to the one in March. I'm 25 and will be 26 in a few months and I am determined to play sports again. I miss it so much.  I am hoping that this surgery turns back the time clock so i can play all the sports I use to play...  Congrats on the weight loss I'm happy for you.

Hey Casandra,
My girlfriend (in N.C.) was 327 lbs. and could barely walk...she's 54 years old.  Now, two years after her gastric bypass, she is RUNNING!  She plays racquet ball and jogs and goes to the gym and swims and is doing fantastic.  So just imagine how you will be once you have your operation and lose your weight.
Hope to see you at the meeting.

Thanks for the encouraging post.  I cant wait to  be back in sports again...I started my liquid diet yesterday and I did pretty well, hopefully I will able to continue... I really wish more people would use the online support but at least there are a few faithfuls Smiley Hope to see you at the next meeting Smiley
