Congratulations!!!! We must have been about the same size. I wore size 26 jeans into the hospital. I'm wearing size 4 jeans now. Isn't it so incredible!!! This surgery is such a blessing!!!! * Cyndi *

Donna you are too sweet. Happy belated surgiversary to you too! Seems extra nice when the scale moves these days. Mine hasn't in weeks. Seems like I only lose once a month lately and it sure isn't double digits like last year. How's your appt. go? ~Ape

Thanks Cyndi! Even better was they took my word for it and did not make me get on the scale whooo hooo so it did not matter my weight is still up 2 lbs (the scale did move again today!) It has been a great day!!!!! My doc says things are great and I told himI was disappointed I did not make my goal of 180 by today. He is more than pleased with my progress. And pointed out that this is the point that excercising is going to help in the final stretch. He said had I been able to had i not had to stop working out I would have made my goal so he is not concerned. I am just much harder on myself LOL! He did point out that it has been over 12 years since I weighed 190 so that in itself is an accomplishment. Now I wil start my quest for the final piece to this journey.......plastics!!!!!! He already talked to a plastic surgeon that I am going to go talk to soon just to see what I will be dealing with and start planning how I am going to get all that I want done. It will be awhile and I still have 40lbs to go before I will want to start.....but it will be nice to have the plan. Donna Donna

i happy with my doc and myself and god thanks ive went from size 26 to 9 in a yr so thanks again

Thanks Cyndi, It just ****** me off when I overdo it and I have myself to blame. I need to get back to protein and drop a bunch so I can relax. Thanks for the encouragement. Hugs, Esther
