Happy Anniversary To Me!!!
This is my 6 month anniversary too. I have lost 80 pounds exactly as of this morning. My size went from a 22/24 to a 14/16. I have 20 pounds to go to goal and then after a TT I will be in the 140's. This has all happened so fast. I still have weight identity shock. Sometimes I still feel fat and other times I feel thin. I am thankful that God saw me through the surgery with very little complications and has helped me adapt to my new eating habits. This web page has been the biggest help of all. All you people seem like friends. Thank you so much. Karen
Hi Karen,
Congrats on your anniversary and on a great weight loss. I'm so very happy for you!
I had my surgery on 10/16/03 and have yet to set a goal (verbally to anyone). I guess I have one set in the back of my mind but I can't bring myself to believe it can actually happen. I keep thinking this miracle is going to come to a premature end and I'll either just stop losing before i'm supposed to or gain back everything I've lost. I too thank God for seeing me through the surgery and my journey to become a healther me.
I know we will always have to think about every bite we put in our mouths and that exercise is a must. I reflect on where I was 6 months ago, what it took to get me where I am today, and how important it is to continue to use the tool to achieve my goal (whatever that might be).
Best of luck as you continue your journey! Keep us posted!

Hey Karen! 
Congratulations on your 6 month anniversay!!! Isn't it overwhelming, when you stop to think about where we were 6 months ago? We were just out of surgery
, or getting ready for the surgery, wondering if this was the right decision
. People who make comments about how we took the easy way out, are so clueless
. Every day we have to think about eating the right foods, so we don't get sick.
We have to do some kind of exercise
, and we have to adjust to the fact that we are getting thin.(Some of us, for the first time in our lives
.) So, I say phooey to these people, and let's celebrate our courage and love for ourselves and one another
