6 Mos Anniversary today !!

Hi Rita!! You also have been doing a nice job! Aside from wishing I was taller today ( Just today?) I really wish I had this sooner I'm single, going to be 50 in July (did I say that?) and wish I could redo the last 20yrs again..what a different single mom I would be- had I had this surgery- then. But all roads lead to the one Im on- and like I always say- "it doesn't matter how long it takes to reach the mountaintop- becauz the view is still the same!" So good luck in sticking with your goals and moving ahead! Hugs, Donna

Donna, We're surgery date sisters..... Happy Anniversary to you today as well as myself. I am also 5' 4", have lost 77 lbs since surgery & 84 since the beginning of this process. What a wonderful milestone to share with someone else. Oh, I'm also from NY. Keep up the great work Tammy

Hi TAMMY! Hugs & Congratulations!!! HOW are you doing? It's such a milestone hitting the 6month mark..and now I want to see how far I can push myself in the next 6 mos! I think its easier getting more exercise in at -85lbs than it was with all that weight..I know I tried at the gym..I had lost & regained the same 25lbs before my first consult.. I did some measurements- and although it doesn't sound like a lot- because I only measured my waist/hips/breast/ thighs/ calfs..I have lost 24inches! 12 inches alone in my abdomen area!! 8 from the hip and 4.5 from my waist! I DID not realize how large my abdominal area was and know that without this surgery- none of these results would have been possible or even possible in this timeframe.. I've seen your posts also on the NY boards, right? Stay in touch and let me know how you are doing- I love sharing my august birthday! Hugs, Donna

Hey, I'm doing great. only about 7 lbs from ONEderland. Can't wait... I posted some side by side before & now pics on my profile. They are bra & undies (just wanted to warn you).... Not that I like everyone to see me like that, but I think it's important for pre & post ops, along with myself to see the progress. Yes, I do post on the NY board sometimes. Keep up the great work. Tammy

Donna, WTG Gurl!!! You look great! hippie
