I did it! Below Dr. Goal!
I am at 149, 1 lbs. below what the Doc said he could get me to. And I know I am not done yet. I want to loose 11 more
and be at he medically correct weight of 138,
and I think I will get there!!
Maybe by the first of the year or so!!! Not setting a goal, that is a no no, but just by how I seem to be loosing. Then I get to figure out how to stop loosing and how to maintain.
I see others who are being told that their medical weight is higher because of PS, I am thinking that I have been lucky and my amount of exess skin is so much less, that I am being realistic. No one has said to stop loosing yet, so at least that seems to be right.

Hey Kristi:
Congratulations! Neither my surgeon nor my PCP would give me a goal weight...which is a bummer. I took my goal from my 18-month planner. I still have 16 lbs to go but, yes, I am one of those whose plastic surgeon told them to stop losing because the operation would take off some weight. I do not have a lot of hanging skin at all but he still maintains that that amount of weight will come off. But I am still shooting for 160, anyhow!
Congrats again,
Jersey
