8/23/2004 This is our 6 month check-in!!!!

Hi all, 6 months already!!! I am down 112 pounds. I am wearing a 20 in pants and a 2XL Shirt. I feel awesome. I have 63 pounds to go to get to my first goal of 170. If I feel like I need to loose more then I will but I think I will look just fine at 170. This surgery is the best tool anyone ever gave me to loose weight. I know I will keep it off this time. To many people know I have had this surgery to ever fail. Anyhow, I hope every one is doing good. Please post and let me know how you all are doing. Jonita

WOW!! Jonita I am suprised by how similar our stats are. I too am down about 112 lbs. I am in size 18 tops and bottoms and I would be very happy at 170 but secretly hope to see under 150. My weightloss has been at a slight plateau lately. I am increasing my exercise to try to break it. I couldn't be happier with this surgery and I look forward to this upcoming summer. I think having surgery in August was perfect because now I feel like I have been in a cocoon all winter and as the weather gets nicer I feel secure in shorts and swimsuits. Congrats to you! I will keep an eye on your profile since we are pretty much surgery twins! lol. Take care. Much Love, Shelli

Hiya, I'm down 75 and have another 40 to go! Hey Jonita, my in-laws are from Wichita and I was in your area just this past weekend. Did you have your surgery in Wichita or elsewhere? My sister in law is considering the RNY. You both are doing great!!! Kelli
