Topic: RE: 18 months out and feeling fine!
All of the surgeons and the PA are amazing! And all of them are gorgeous! It must be a job requirement to work there. But, they are also the nicest group of super-talented people. I was quite fortunate that my insurance changed my original referral to this practice instead.
As for the photo...I wished that it was a dream when I saw it. All I could think was, "I walked around in public looking like that?" 
Thank goodness that's over.

I really thought that I would end up skin and bones if I lost another pound...but it doesn't seem to have happened. Well, at least I don't really see it. However, my pants are all starting to fall down again and I really don't want to have to start buying 2's...so if the weight doesn't re-distribute to keep the britches up, a couple of pounds are going to have to come back.
Anyway, the PA didn't seem at all worried about my weight because I am still at BMI 22 give or take a few points. My "ideal" weight is 132! But, there is just no way that I can pull that off...I'm just too big boned for that. I really would be a bag of bones if I tried to lose that much. I would look like this----->
lol.

They offered at my one year visit for me to see them...I politely declined. I just wasn't ready for that. Now I see why.

Hello All!
It is a good day! 18 months out and down 174 pounds from my highest. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!
I am steady as a rock at 153, although I saw 149 for about 2 minutes last week! lol! I am not interested in losing any more weight, so I am pleased a*****h staying put right where I am. My maintenance goal is 150-155, so doing well.
Happy "Back to School" everyone!

Your doc sounds wonderful! Mine doesn't have a really friendly personality, but she is good at her job!
I am with you about the before pics. I was stunned that I looked like that. It seems like a bad dream!

Wish I could see my before pics- but they're in Bogota, Columbia- so won't be seeing them anytime soon!!!
How cute about his comments- that had to have felt sooo good!!!
I'm getting ready for another set of bloodtests- but was trying to wait til the kids get in school- in case I need another infusion...
Glad your blood work came back so well.
I know you lost weight this week- did he say it was too much? I bet you're pretty bony right now...
Thanks for making me smile-

You all are doing so well- that's wonderful.
I am still at 135- but know I will be down this week. That's my absolute highest that I want to go.
I started with the protein shakes again this am- and that really seems to help- now if I can just get past my evening suck down of anything and everything I will have started my first day to recovery!!!
Have a good one!!!
2 weeks til the triplets start school- I cannot wait!!!!

Way to go Laura and Suz!! You've done awesome. I am slowly losing the fluid gain but am still very very swollen. Thinkin about calling the doc and asking for more fluid pills. Here are my stats:
HW 270
SW 255
LW 155
CW 151.2
A loss of 3.8 lbs. Still have 9 lbs to go to get to my before surgery weight of 142. Plus he removed 5lbs of skin so I calculat that I should weigh about 137.
