Almost a year already!!!

I can't believe that I am almost a year out!! It will be on Aug 6th! I have gone from a size 22-24 to a size 4, from 253 lbs to 125(and finally holding!) I have not had but a few problems. I have dumped a few times, mostly to my own stupidity except that one time with the unsweetened applesauce--still dont get how that one happened! I feel and look FABULOUS! If you dont count the saggin skin on my thighs-but that will be dealt with soon. I have tremendous energy-my son is thrilled that he can wrap his arms around me now that I only weigh 40lbs more than him--he just turned 10. I have a lot of people telling me I am too THIN!! Go figure--can't ever make anyone happy--but that is their problem, not mine! I am having a litle problem stopping the weight loss but I think I finally have that "problem" fixed. The only somewhat major prob I have had was just 6 days ago--I had to have surgery to repair an internal hernia with some bowel obstruction due to that-but I am fine-feel great--goin back to work tomorrow----yuck! No biggie when you think about everything that could have gone wrong--I got off easy! I have so many plans now(including a little lift and tuck-but I even got off easy with that one--very little extra skin--not even a fold in my belly--just a little too loose for the liking) and such a life to look forward to--If the biggest worry I have now is that the size 4 shorts I just bought feel a little too short--then so be it! I can deal with it! I wish all of you the luck that I have had! Talk to you soon!!!! Stephanie Lap RNY 8-03 253/125 size 22-24----size 4 XXL uniforms to XS(I am a nurse)

Congratulations!!!!! It is so wonderful to hear such happy stories!! It is really inspiring!! I am in the process of getting approval for the surgery...and each time I read the messages on these boards...it just confirms my desires to get this done!! I wish you so much happiness and continued success... I imagine the life that has opened up to you is full of wonderful possibilities!! Congratulations again and again!! Tricia

All I can say is "WOW". great job. tina
