Ideal Weight?

I did it! Hoorray for WLS! My BMI is 25...in the ideal range and my weight is 155...the exact weight my surgeon listed for me to aim at! (As my son would say...SCORE!!) I'm 2 weeks and 2 days from my 6 month check-up. I'm where I hoped to be by then...with a bit of breathing room! My "ideal" weight on the charts is about 144 so I have a bit to go. But hey! I'm extremely happy and excited about wearing size 10 slacks and 14 tops! I really do feel so wonderful...so many of my health problems are either better or completely gone! I keep telling people I feel great...as long as I don't eat. Now if they can solve my GI problems (I'm still having pain if I eat solids), everything will be aimed at maintenance. Woo hoo!! It's the Happy Dance for me!! Cheers, Rusty

Congratulations, Rusty!! Your son is right....SCORE!!! Major score!! That is so fantastic. I can't wait to be where you are!! You go girl!! Staci -73lbs at 3 months out

Congratulations, I hope I do as well as you have done. I have not had my surgery yet, but expect to have it in September. You are doing so great and you should pat yourself on the back for all the hard work you have done over the last six months. Glenda
