Can't believe it's been 18 months already!

Next week I will be 18 months out. I started at 342# and am down to 180#. I still have 25 to get to my surgeon's goal. Don't know if I'll make it but I'm still losing although slowly. I exercise in some way everyday and stay away as much as possible from foods that are not good for me. I have never dumped so must just use good old will power. On March 1 I had a TT & love my new tiny, tight, tummy. I feel like a 25 year old again & my husband acts like one. In August I'm having another procedure, basically the back half of the LBL. This will lift & tighten my bottom & smooth the outer thighs. I'd love to get the inner thighs fixed but that probably won't be in the near future if at all. I am self paying for everything as I have no rashes or anything else that causes problems. I wear size 12 pants & yesterday bought my first size 8 top. How cool to drop that far from a 4X! Dixie

Dixie, Congrads to you. I don't have the money to any body work. I would love to do the LBL but I am afraid since the hernia surgery. In September I will fix the veins. They seem to stick out much more since I lost all the weight. Again Happy 18 month Anniversary to you Lorraine

WOW Dixie......I cannot believe it has been 18 months....were has all the time went??? I cannot believe you wear an 8 top.....woo hoo I am still top heavy and will always be.....I am in an 8/10 pants but I still buy x-large tops.....I should have been born a boy, I have shoulders of a football player Oh well could be much worse!! I have 13lbs before goal and it is a killer.....I need to shake things up a bit I think!!! I am so proud of everything you have done.....you are awesome and can't wait to meet ya!!! Take Care Jesi

Congratulations Dixie. I have no doubt you will make that goal. I will have my 1 1/2 year anniversary on June 15. I'm still below doc's goal but stabilized I hope at 118-120. I hope at sometime to have a LBL although I'm not to anxious to have surgery again.....I've even put off having the GB removed. Great going! Ruthanna
