Hi Trina. So glad you joined our happy April group. You are a welcome addition. This group is so encouraging. I just love coming here to read what everyone else has written....and is doing! I feel like I am a slow loser, but life is getting good. I am right on the cusp of stepping over into the "regular" clothes. I was a 3X, and am now a 1X. It's so exciting! Have a great time at the zoo. You will finally be able to keep up with you kids!! Peggy

46lbs...well you are beating me by 5lbs...but you better watch it. I'm hot on your heals! Kidding. Congrats, that's wonderful. I noticed on your profile that your bmi doesn't qualify for surgery anymore. That is great! Keep us posted. PS How was the zoo? Rachel

The ZOO was great! HOT! But I walked the whole Zoo with out having to stop and breathe! I sat down one time and it was only to take a picture with my kids! I actuall let someone take my picture. I am ALWAYS the person behind the lens. My BMI at it's highest was 42. And that was at my highest weight of 269 last November. It really dropped quicker than I thought. I was having liver function problems was the main reason I was asked to try WLS by my PCP. I have a fatty liver and I was losing function in it. My grandmother died of Liver cancer, so it was a major scare for us. Even with everything that has happened since WLS, I am starting to feel like it was meant to be for me! Have a wonderful DAY!
