I am -61!!!!!!!!!

Hi All, My first trip into this board and i dunno what took me so long. I started at 266 - I had the DS on 5/4/04 and today I weigh 205 pounds. I have dropped 4 pounds this week alone. I was 210 is for like a month. But I agree - my clothes were fitting differently even though the scale was being stubborn. I have a doctor's appointment today so we'll see what her scale says but it is normally no more than a pound different one way or the other. I want to lose at least 100#. But my surgeon says my goal loss is 125. I would be just fine with 100# lost!! Can't wait 'yil my weight stabilizes so I can SHOP!!!!!!!! Congrats to all of my May '04 WLS brothers and sisters - I am EXCITED. No way could I have achieved this without this marvelous tool. Take care all & together, may we continue to charge toward our goals!!!

You are such an inspiration! I read your profile and checked out your websites and somehow couldn't get to listen to your voice, which I'm sure is amazing. You seem to be one VERY determined woman and I am sure you will reach any goal you set your mind to. I'm so glad you have joined our little May WLS family! Hugs, Susan

Hey Jazzy, you and I share the same wls date. I started at 283 and now I weigh 228. That is a total of 55lbs. It sure feels so darn good doesn't it!!! I have not had to shop yet. I had sizes 12 through 24 in my closet already. I am now comfortably in my old 18's. Just had to wash them to get out the dust and WHALAH!!! You sound like you are doing just wonderful. I am very happy for you. I too would be over the moon just to reach the goal of 100lbs lost. But, we will see won't we! You have a great week and I will look forward to watching for further post from you. Bye Brenda, A wls friend from Texas!

Congrats on your loss! (Sounds kinda funny doesn't it?) I never realized how much a difference in my clothes this would make. I am swimming in my old stuff that was too small before surgery. Forget about the stuff that fit! Good luck to another of the May 4th crowd!

Congrats that is great your onto great things girl...!!! NAT

05/04/04 is the day! I had my surgery on that day and I have lost 60lbs. My goal and my surgeons is 100lbs so I am over half way there. It feels so good doesn't it! I know you feel free because you move differently, you walk different, your complexion changes, everything feels better! I am so happy for your loss. Be Blessed. 221/161/121 -60lbs

All I can say is you're gorgeous! You're doing wonderful and I love your profile page. It's very cool. Glad you came to join us! Cheryl

HI JAZZY, YOU HAD YOUR SURGERY 1 DAY BEFORE ME. CONGRATS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS. I DON'T FREQUENT THIS BOARD VERY OFTEN BUT LIKE TO STOP IN TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. I GO TO THE OVER 50 FORUM FOR OLD FOLKS LIKE ME LOL. I AM 58, AND VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE THIS SURGERY. I AM DOWN 59 LBS AND COUNTING LOL. GOD BLESS, TRUDY

I too am a surgery date buddy. Your website is wonderful. YOU look beautiful and I am sure you feel it too. I started only a few lbs off from you at 265 and as of yesterday I am 203. How tall are you? I am 5'3 and I think my goal is 130 but I guess I will know more once I get closer. I am also in a 16 bottom and a 14/16 top. Isn't it an incredible feeling??? I am SO grateful to have been given this opportunity. Take care..... Julie open rny Charleston, SC May 4, 2004 265/203/130
