Well, I am officially ready for PS now.  Dr. Shina said that he will release me early for plastic surgery whenever I am ready.  I don't have to wait the 2 years that he normally requires! Wooooo Hooooo!  Sounds good to me!  He also has started doing the tummy tuck portion of PS, and has already suggested some options.  I am to schedule an appt. with a PS of my choice, and then they will discuss my plans together.  I am so glad that I have such a wonderful doctor!

Now, on to my visit today with him........I am officially down 147 pounds!  I am to continue all that I am doing, and just add 2 more small meals a day if I choose to.  It isn't necessary, and it is just an option for me to decide upon.  Other than that, I am in absolute perfect health!  He is very pleased with how my weigh loss progressed, and that all my labs came back perfect!  I am not showing any signs of malabsorption, so that is a great thing too.  He said to just keep it up, and do exactly what I am doing now, and I will be just fine from now on!  I am so happy!

Now I am off to bed........it was a long day today, with lots of walking and spending time with the girls.  We had a fun day just walking around the mall.  I got in at least an hour of walking alone!
Tomorrow is my Monday at work, so time to hit the pillows! Night all!
At Goal! 165 pounds gone forever! Thank you Lord!

You only have one life to live, but if lived right, it's the only one you need!

You are doing absolutely amazing.  I still dont know if I am going to do plastics or not.  Depends on if my insurance will pay. If they will pay, then I will. If not, then I doubt it unless I hit the lottery.

Keep up the good work
