3 months post op

well I know its been awhile since I posted, and am not very active here, but just wanted to post my two cents. I went yesterday to the dr. and they said I am 47 lbs down, since surgery on 9/14/04. Although when I go to my regular dr. they say I am down 63 lbs. Which I know is the difference in scales. My body fat went from 69.2% down to 52.7%. I am down from 497(my highest weight) to 323. Which is great. I wasn't ever happy at my old weight. My surgeon wants me to get down to 175 as a realistic weight, but my regular doctor says I should even out about 240. I just would li8ke to be under 200, haven't been there since 8th grade in high school. next year is my 10 yr reunion, nd would love to rub in the fact I am thinner then half the cheerleaders, most of them have gained alot of weight. It would be nice. Not that this surgery was done out of revenge, but I used to be teased all the time. well anyways, thanks for listening. April

Hi April, 497 down to 323 is absolutely incredible. You must have done alot of work to start losing so much even before your surgery. I understand what you said about the upcoming reunion. Isn't so cool that we can get excited about upcoming events like that instead of dreading them the way we used to??? Try to get a picture up so we can see your incredible changes, if you can. Nice to hear from you and get your update ~Sue

April, You go girl. Congratulations You are doing it. Just be thankful that it is coming off. Hugs Dolores

WONDERFUL...you did this for yourself and no one else...You may get to 240 and be able to go on to 175....GOOD LUCK
