8/16ers - Almost 11 months!

Can you believe we are quickly approaching the 11 month mark? Not to mention the fact that we are almost 1 year post op? The ups and downs have been so frustrating for me, but I can't even imagine what my weight would be right now if I hadn't had the surgery. I thank God and my surgeon for this amazing journey. I am pretty confident that I will reach my surgeons 1 year goal for me by the time it gets here (-125 lbs), and also his final 18 month goal by Feb. 06 ( 150 lbs.). Hope everyone else is feeling great and is happy with their progress. Judy 359/242/165-185? -117

HI Judy, You are looking great.. Kudos on your weightloss... I was just thinking this morning how quickly this past year has gone by. I too cant imagine how much I would weigh by now if not for this amazing surgery. I was not given any particular goals by my surgeon. I did not have as big a loss as I would have liked. However I am very happy with what I have lost. When I get discourged with the slowing weightloss I keep reminding myself that it is still a loss.. without surgery it would have been a gain... Keep up the good work.... Sondra 8/25/04 362/240
