Topic: New here but not New
Hi, I'm Jodie.
I have been hanging out on the Ca. lapband board for the past few months. I didn't know about this wonderful site until then. Well, I am almost 10 months out!! Love it, by the way. You can check out my profile if you would like to get to know my story better. I had 80 pounds to loose, and I am almost down 60! I am just about 15 pounds to my goal that I set. WOW! I would love to get to know more of you who hang out here and have much more in common with me due to our surgery dates.

Keep up the great work!

Glad to hear you are doing so well! Keep up the good work! 
I think it is a great idea for our ten month anniversary to do a complete update. Thanks for posting!

Hey Stacy,
I think you have LOTS to celebrate! You've come such a long way and to be in onederland is amazing! Don't worry about having so much more to go that you shouldn't celebrate TOO MUCH - we're here for you to celebrate like crazy! What an awesome accomplishment! I am so impressed with you.
And there's not a whole lot more left to go! Woo hoo!
CONGRATULATIONS!

Hello Everyone!!! CONGRATS on the pounds gone forever.
I have lost 121.5 lbs. My beginning weight was 306 and I now weigh 184.5. I am 5'8" and my goal was 155 to 175, so I am 9.5 lbs away from the high end of my goal - - - -WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am having some issues with my vitamins and shakes. I need to kick myself in the BUTT and get them down before I get sick.

Hi everyone!!!! 
I hope you all are enjoying your huge new life being a smaller person. It amazes me when I walk past a mirror and see my reflection, I have to take a double take because I can not believe it is me. 
I was shopping with my sister one day last week and we separated. She said she began to look for me, and couldn't find me, yet she was looking right at me.....lol
Even though I had a signifigant weight loss, I still see myself as me. 
This is a good thing, in one way, but in another I can see why one could be anorexic. Even though I know I lost alot of weight, and have the scale and smaller clothes size to prove it, sometimes I still feel like a super obese person. One day I can look in the mirror and be amazed at the size I am now, yet the next day I look, I can and sometimes do feel like the super obese person I was. It is amazing the tricks your mind can play on you. 
I am happy to report I had a 4 pound loss this week, and discovered a few more bones I never knew I had....lol As of this week, I am down 110 pounds. 
I have a suggestion to make. 
For our 10th month anniversary, along with posting our weight loss, how about we add our inches we lost to date, the sizes we came from and are in now, and the percentage we lost. Along with this we can include our starting weight and the weight we are to date. We can also include our personal goals. I don't feel a goal given to us by a medical professional is a good thing, they go by charts, our own personal goals go by the way we look and feel.
I wish you all much success this week, and look forward to seeing the accomplishments of each and everyone of us next week.

lol, yep...I thought my scale was going to taunt me at around 202-203 for a few weeks, hovering there and laughing. Fortunately, it didn't, so I didn't have to rip out all my hair. ;)
