At Surgeon's Suggested Goal Weight

Hi Everyone! I'm about to do a little shameless 'bragging'; so, if you don't want to read...go ahead and click out now. I have finally reached my surgeon's suggested goal weight of 150 pounds. Being that I am 5' 6", that still puts me in the kind of high range of "Normal"; so, I am going to set my personal goal at 140 pounds...Since I am only 11 1/2 months post-op, I do believe that very well may be attainable, even though my weight loss has slowed dramatically. I want to send out a very special THANK YOU to all you that have helped me along my way ...there are just too many to list here; and, I would probably leave someone out...besides, you know who you are! Much Love & Huge (((Hugs))), Sherry Open RNY 02/04/04 (Proximal-75 cm) 294.5/150/150/140 -144.5#

Hi Tammy! Thank you...and, you will get to your goal! ~~Sherry

Congrats Sherry ~~ I'd be bragging too!! Now give me some tips on how you get that last little bit off. I've got 15 more to my dr goal and 20 to my personal goal with about 3 mo to go. Janie

Hi Janie! Because of my severe insulin resistance, I have to keep my total carb intake at 10-20 grams per day...drink one gallon of water per day because of a kidney infection I had in September...and, I walk 2-4 miles per day. Congratulations on YOUR loss...you are doing terrific!! ~~Sherry

Sherry: Congratulations!!!!!! You deserve to brag, so brag it up!!!!! You have done a wonderful job!!! It gives me hope, that I can make my goal too!!! I'm 9 months out, and 37 lbs from my surgeons goal. I'm 5'4" and he says I should be able to get to 130, which I CAN'T IMAGINE!!! My personal goal is 145, which brings me under a "normal" BMI. I'm still losing,slower of course, but still going down!! You are an inspiration!!! Are you considering any plastic surgery?? Take care, and keep it up!!! DeeAnn R
