I am feeling you on that girl. Congrats!!! and good luck on the rest of your journey.

surgery day = 386 lb's today = 231 lb's total lost = 155 lb's

Start - 260 Now - 144 Goal - 138 I now weigh 144 for a total of 116 pounds lost, and I have 6 pounds to my doctors goal. I can now see where people that gets this far out struggle with their continued weight loss. I am going up 1 pound and down 1 pound almost everyday this past 2 weeks. I even had 1 1/2 cup of spaghatti for lunch today, YIKES! I can eat so much more than I could at the beginning and I have no trouble with anything as of yet. I have not tried refined sugar yet. I follow the pouch rules but I do have some crackers, pretzels or chips occasionaly. Life is GRAND!

b4 surgery = 288 lbs surgery date = 288 lbs today = 167 lbs total lost = 121 lbs I am starting to get frustrated because it seems I lose some, then I gain back, over a period of days, 2-5 lbs. Then I lose it all again. I am not doing anything different. This is the first time this has been happening -- just in the last month or so. Otherwise I had never gained....always just lost. ...(sigh)...I guess this is just the way it is gonna be from now on, huh? I AM happy with the results though .. dont get me wrong. If I never lose another pound, I will be happy where I am. I am finally seeing the new me too. It has been overwhelming, at times, the responses I get from people who havent seen me in awhile ... but I was thinking the other day, that back when I was "big" ... people would say I looked nice, etc. ... but I always figured they were "just being nice". Now, its a little hard, because I think they REALLY MEAN IT when they give me a compliment! So I take it all in and try not to get the "big head" ... lol ... Yeah, on the old clothes -- they are GONE -- hopefully FOREVER! Susan
