Im so excited for you...If you need anything dont hesitate to ask, Ill be right behind you on the journey.....Angie

Congrats John! Can't wait to see you on the losers bench! and happy birthday! (belated one day)

Okay gang, Since I'm kind of adopting this November 07 board, I feel the need to share a few of my major struggles and victories to give you a taste of what YOU will be enjoying very shortly. YES...with determination and patience, this will be your story in just a few short months. I'm telling you, this will happen faster than you can prepare your mind for what is going to happen. Okay..so here it goes....plug your ears... Woooooo Hooooooo I finally did it. I hit the 100 pound century milestone this morning and I'm pretty happy. I lost 36 pounds from January through the middle of May as a pre-oper. Then, since I started the WLS process On May 21st with my liquid diet, I've lost exactly 64 more pounds for my total of 100. It still seems like some kind of dream. I can't believe that the scale balanced EXACTLY at the 100 pounder mark this morning. Then, to boot, my regular weigh-in day, today happened to fall on my 45th birthday. So, I had the best birthday present anyone in my shoes could ever ask for. I weighed 247 this morning and my next milestone is the 228 to 227 transition when I will no longer be called OBESE and turn to the overweight level. Then, I'm off to Onederland. Have a great week everyone.
