Happy Sunday!!

Happy Sunday to All my MS family! I see that all of us are busy or just lurking! I just wanted to upadate you guys and want to hear some updates from you! As of friday, I am down a total of -144 lbs. My 7 month anniversary for WLS was thursday! I am feeling great! And have more energy now then i can ever remember since I've been majorily overweigh all my life. I can not believe that I weigh 300 now!!!!! I think that I was about 17 yrs old the last time that I weighed 300! It feels so good. And to see the expression on people face that has not seen me in a while. And esp those that havent seen me in YEARS! Ok, your turn to update me! God Bless & Happy Sunday JO 444/414/300/-144 I am 75 lbs away from my Drs goal. Then we can talk about skin removal.. yeaaaaaaaaaaa.

Hey Jo, Well your right.... I've been lurking !!! I go Thursday to get the results from my sleep study. Needless to say, I have to be there at 8:30am. And as you know, it takes about 2 hours to get there. So, I'm not looking forward to getting up at 5:30. But, if the doctor says everything is fine and I'm cleared.... it will be worth it !!! Keeping fingers crossed for that !!! I'm so glad that you are doing so wonderful. That is the best news !!! Maybe it won't be long and you'll be looking into skin removal. I know it tickles you for people to be in shock when they see you for the first time in a while. Heck if it was me... I'd look people up just to shock them !!! Might as well go on and have fun with it... Tammy

Hey Jo, You are doing so good with your weight loss. I know you must feel wonderful. I am down 81 pds to date. I know I feel alot better and I am really loving getting the new clothes. Talk to you later. Becky

Everyone is doing so great, there is so much inspiration all around. Great Great job Jo and Becky and everyone out there. Proves this tight knit support groups works wonders. Sue

Congrats Jo! You are doing great... 75 more and you will feel like you are on top of the world. You probably do already! Far as me... I am still at -99... Still fighting for that 1 pound. Been stuck for about a week or so. My doc says after my 9 mos post op appt we would start talking about plastic surgery. He says my belly skin is about 10 pounds. I would love to get that off. Even if I didnt lose another pound--if that goes I will be happy at 157. Sounds like everyone is doing so well.. and its really nice that Donna is back--feels like we are all back together.

Happy Sunday back at 'cha!!! I am down 117.5 lbs as of Friday! Go me!!!! It is truly a miracle!!! I even ate a REAL meal today!!! Pork chop w/rice done in the crockpot - so it was all real tender and a salad. I ate a FULL plate - actually it was a full SAUCER!!!!!! Bout a tablespoon of soft rice, an ounce of pork chop, and a very, very small salad - bout 1/4 cup - but I had NO problems with any of it!!! Then a very small broccoli, cheese baked potato for supper and I couldn't fini****! You are doing excellent. I have a bazillion more pounds before the doc's goals. My doc (being a skinny Air Force guy) has put my goal weight at 160 lbs BEFORE TT. At 160 lbs, I will be dern near invisisible!!!!! My 3 month (actually 3 1/2 month) checkup is Thursday.
