am 9 months post op and have lost 157.3 lbs and my current weight is 160.2 :)

My surgeon has my goal at 140 to 150. Right now I have it set on my signature at 140. But I may change it to 130 when I get to the first goal. I have to see how I feel once I am there. I hope to be at goal by my 1 yr surgery anniversary on July 28, 2010

I need to take a new picture again. Last one is a month ago. So hope to get a new picture up soon.

Yes, I think she was rude. Probably jealous of you. That's like saying, "She had cancer and decided to fight it." Totally unnecessary comment.

We must be traveling similar paths in life. I am looking for a site to complete my last clinical/internship. Then I can graduate in December of 2010. Hopefully, a large, progressive hospital that promotes continuing education will hire me. (I'm working on it).

This weight loss has been wonderful for my self-esteem too! I just went to my first professional conference and I met so many impressive contacts and mentors to help me as I continue my career path. I also want to complete my bacholors degree, on-line if necessary. I'm even applying for a job in Brussels, Belgium. Why not? Dream big! I never would have been able to do that without having the surgery.

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.

Isn't it frustrating? I went on to lose 8 lbs in 9 days, and then I promptly gained 2 lbs back. ARG!
We're getting there. :)

I'm graduating with an associate's degree in Human Services. My internship hired me, so instead of going on for my bachelor's in social work at the local university - which would have been day classes, I'm going on for my bachelor's in human services through a college which has a program for degree completions. Meets one night a week and the rest online. WLS really helped me with self-esteem and confidence issues. This, I think, is what got me my job.
