I REACHED MY GOAL!!!!!
Hey everyone,
Well, I weighed myself yesterday and at 7 months and almost 2 weeks out, I have reached my goal weight!! Well, the goal that I set for myself way back pre-op! I started out at 275 and set my goal at 150, never dreaming it could even be possible to lose 125 lbs. And now? Drumroll, if you please..........I weigh 145!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!! I did it!! I am so happy!!!! My BMI is now HEALTHY!!!!! I wear size 6 jeans!!! I even got a pair of size 4 stretch bootcut jeans for Christmas from my hubby and never thought I would be able to even get into them, but imagine my shock when I fit into them!!! My only problem now is all this skin. I have flabby arms, droopy chest, flabby thighs, and all this flabby skin on my stomach!! What can I do?????? I don't want to even consider another surgery. Are there any exercises that anyone knows of to help with this? Also, I am still having hair loss although it has slowed down considerably but it hasn't started growing back yet. Any suggestions? And I cannot tolerate sugar at all. 5 grams is my limit and then I still feel a little nauseous. It is a real pain and so hard to actually find things I can eat and drink. Also, I still can only eat tiny little portions. A few bites and I am overstuffed. Anyone else still experiencing this? I appreciate any advice that I get! I need to get a photo put on my profile to show my before and after. Looks like I need to set another goal now since I have acheived the one I thought I never would. Ok, my new goal is 132 since that is what I should weigh according to my height. Let's see if I can reach that! I am soooooo happy!!! Take care!

Congrats Amy
What a wonderful way to start out the new year. I just got into a size 6 as well. It sure is strange isn't it? The skin is gross I know. I hate the way I look naked now. I bought shorts to wear over my bathing suit because my thighs look so BAD. I don't know what exercises to do, but when I say the plastic surgeon, she told me that our skin is still shrinking. It will until about 18 mths out. Right about then you'll be as good as you'll get.
Keep up the GREAT work!!
