First MAJOR goal met
I want to say something real quick. I realized that it sounded like the whole reason I did this surgery was to "look good". While that is a wonderful side affect of this surgery, I did it for my health. I no longer am on blood pressure meds, my last bp was 115/76. I no longer wake up chokeing because of the GERD. I no longer have sleep apnea, which I never even knew I had until I was in the hospital after surgery, my joints no longer hurt, and I am no longer suffering from depression. Those things going away were my first goals, and they have been met. This goal of pants size was when I was asked how much I wanted to or expected to loose. Just wanted to make sure it didn't sound like I did this all for cosmetic purposes.
Nicole, I think we all knew that. We all have our health reasons for doing this, but those OTHER victories are pretty flippin' exciting too! And we SHOULD celebrate them with everyone here!
I, for one, never thought you were doing this for vanity. But if vanity happens? It's just another benefit!
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
I have so many set of clothes, when I lose weight it will be a windfall. I even saved my guess from Highschool- I know they won't ever fit becasue even if I get to the same weight, i know my body is now proportioned differently. I am like you, even if I don't make goal, I will be happy just to change sizes once in a while. Congrats on successfully working your tool!
