6 month anniversary!!!!

Well I did it, I am 6 months out. I have survived!! In fact I feel pretty darn wonderful and can say YES, oh YES, I would do it again. I just weighed myself and have lost 1 more pound. That puts me at 165 with a loss of 70 lbs. Yipeeeeee for me!!! As much as I think I am a slow loser I sure am not complaining, no way would I have come close to losing that much any other way. My BMI is now 30.2, why oh why isnt it 29.9. That is my next goal, to be out of the 30s. I now KNOW I can and WILL do it. A month ago I wasn't sure I would, but I kept on, shook off the negative thoughts and said I WILL. Here I am! Thank you ALL for your support, it would have been a much longer and lonelier journey without my AMOS family. I adore you all!! Huugggggsssssssssssss Theresa OpenRNY 7/15/03 235/165/140?135

You've done wonderful Theresa!! It's so good to hear the positive comments and attitude. I'm hanging in....the dreadful first two weeks.....You mentioned in an earlier post that you didn't eat for the first 6weeks. I think that's what you said, though I could be mistaken. Anyways, I was just wondering ...why?? Congrats on your great successes! Be proud!! Lauren

I did not feel like eating at all for 3 weeks, then forced myself to eat for the next 3 weeks. It was very hard being able to eat anything when I had no desire to, the thought of eating made me feel all icky and I was fairly tired. Though I have to say once I started on unjury protein at 4.5 weeks Every day got better. By 6 weeks I was feeling pretty darn good. I truly feel protein makes a BIG difference, at least it does to me. Remember, those first 2 weeks will be a thing of the past soon. Day by day, sip by sip. Thanks for the congrats!!! Theresa

I like your new picture, looks really good!! happy 6 months anniversary!!

Theresa, Rock on! You are doing so great! And don't think that you are a "slow" loser. You are a loser! Which is a great thing to be. I think we should be thanking you for all of your support! You do so much on this site! I have been lurking on the "main" board a bit...boy does that board fill up daily. I don't think I will start posting there though. I like my Maine board just fine. Anyhoo I am happy for you and know you will continue to be successful! Casey

HI Theresa, I'm so Happy for you! Congratulations! Way to Go! You keep melting away and none of us will recognize you! Isn't this an amazing surgery to be able to have to help us lose the weight?

I look forward to reading your posts every chance I get. We cannot thank you enough. Have a Great Day! and I pray the next 6 months are just as good to you! God Bless!
