Congrats, Carolyn!!! You are doing awesome! I know what you mean about the boobs - my husband says that all the time (I personally am enjoying it but hey, mine are still big enough -- for now.)
Topic: RE: One-derland - for good
That is so awesome! I am about 2 pounds away myself! I think that it will call for a digital picture. What a great idea to put the past year on a DVD for you. Anytime you get discouraged and need to remember or want to pat yourself on the back, you can pop that into your player!

Thanks MichiGirl!
Congrats on the top! It's a great feeling to fit in things you don't expect to.

Topic: RE: 6month check up
Good for you Roxann!! I had lost 55% of my excess weight at my 6mo appt.. They told me that already at that much loss I was considered a WLS success. I must say I feel like a success but would like to be more successful. I know what you mean about the iron. I am glad my levels of iron are good because I always read here about the constipation problems with having to take extra iron. I have to take extra potssium but that doesn't seem to give me any problems.

Wow good for you! I know what you mean about feeling small. I look at my knees and calves and think they look tiny even though I still have lots of weight to lose. My sister bought me some clothes for Christmas and one of the tops was a 12/14. She had intended it for later to shrink into it. But it fits now. The size 14 jeans are still too small though.

Cyndi- Sounds like you got some great gifts for Christmas. Onederland and the DVD. How thoughtful of your son. You should be proud.

I weighed in at 134.8 this morning. That's a 2.4 lb loss this week
. It's 97.2 lbs down from the beginning of this process, 87.2 since surgery and almost 110lbs down from my highest weight ever!
I feel so tiny - it's very weird. I accidently bought an XS sweater this week (I had tried on the small in another color and then just grabbed the teal) and it fits! I wanna know who's the ******* who stole my b@@bs!!
Now if I can get my weight to stablize I can have the girls lifted and all this skin removed!!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas or Hannukkah or whatever you celebrate!

Topic: One-derland - for good
A couple days ago, I saw one-derland, then it went away. But I saw it. Then Christmas morning, surprise! I saw one-derland again...that is 118 lbs down from last Christmas. I saw it again this morning...and again....and again...and again...and again! I just had to keep stepping on it, cause I could not imagine it was reallly there. Happy Christmas indeed.
My son made a DVD for me of the year in review. He put videos, pictures, and events from the past year into a DVD with music and thoughts from each of the boys and grandchildren. I cried so hard. But I also laughed. And my eyes were opened wide. It was amazing to see the shrinking me. Even I could not deny the shrinkage...Wow! That was really me. What a wonderful gift.
Just wanted to share this One-derful news wih all my wonderful OH friends. Thanks.
