Woooohoooo!!!!
I got on the scales this morning and finally broke the 198 stall. I was at 197.2!!! I know it doesn't sound like much but I have been sooo tired of seeing 198 or 199 on those stupid scales!!! It was a relief to see a new number. Sad thing about it....in the morning it will probably read 198 again 
I would really be happy if I could wake up to see 196 
This is such a slow waiting game as we discussed earlier. Especially for me because I won't lose as fast as some of you will. I asked the doctor about it and he said the higher your weight is before surgery the faster the weight will come off. I couldn't wait until I got on the other side of 300 lbs before I did anything about my problem. 264 was disabling me more everyday and the steady increase in weight wasn't helping. If I had gone much longer I probably would have had to quit my job. Now I am back to full-time with no problem and loving life again!!! If I was not to go down past 195 I think I would be happy and feel as though the surgery was well worth it. I did not have this surgery to be a "supermodel" or to be able to wear a skimpy bikini and do not intend on having any PS when the ride is over. I think I can be happy with myself with what little saggy skin I will have. I think my arms are going to be the worse...at least they are for now.
Hope you all have a marvelous weekend

Isn't it great when those stalls finally break. I think they are just a test to us, to see if we can stick it out through them and not give up......But once they do break it seems like the pounds fall off easily then for a bit. At least it did for me and it was great.
I have the same philosophy as you do, I didn't do it to be the super model and I will accept the saggy skin if need be. But just to feel healthier with life and having the confidence we seemed to have lost somewhere along the way. Keep up the great work and enjoy your weekend. Love.....Gay
