I just wanted to let ya'll know I am UNDER 300!!!!!!!! Wooohooooo!!! I would like to think the little people, mainly my 2 yo who gave me a stomach bug and helped push me over the mark. I hadn't weighed since Friday due to being out of town and moving the last of our crap into our new house. So this am I weighed and it was 297!!! I can't believe it. Ya'll know I got on and off those scales 4 times before I considered it right.I have now lost 132 lbs since Sept of last yr and 98 since surgery in Feb. I am only 112 lbs from my goal. I am over 1/2 way to my goal. Thanks for all those who have gone before me to show me it could be done and encouraged me along the way.

Melissa, That is just the best news ever!  I am so happy for you.  For some reason I hadn't picked up on how far you had come with WLS and I have to say I am so very proud and impressed!    You have to be feeling like a million bucks.  Keep up the great work...you will get there before you know it!

Thanks Shauna. Yes I have come along way and if you ever want to hear the emotional side of this journey I am the one you need to talk to. It has been a rollercoaster ride with emotions. I will be the first to tell anyone it was worth it but it is a hard road to follow. You will be on that road before you know it and experiencing these wows too.

That is awesome!  I am right behind ya and lost 93 since my pre-op liquid diet in Feb.  Had a little glitch with thyroid and keep saying if not for that, i 'd be at a hundred.  I just need to be happy about how far i have come.

Thanks Barb. I feel great, yes. Sometimes I even find myself wanting to tell overweight people I see that they can break free from that chain and lose too. I havent told anyone that yet but I have that desire many times when I see someone who is extremely overweight. I want to tell them I have been there I know how it is. Maybe one day!!



Thanks again
Melissa
