Half way to goal!!

Well i am very happy to say that i am 1/2 way to my goal wt. and am very excited.   While i wi**** was more (don't we all) I am very very happy with what i have accomplished.   My biggest problem right now is clothes as i am between a 20 and 18. 

My six month anniversary is next week and i get to f/u with surgeons office.  Having blood drawn tomorrow and hope my labs are good

Thanks all for the wonderful support...couldn't have done it without y'all!

Love, Pam

Congrats! That is wonderful. You are moving down the scale so fast. Keep it up.

Thanks Myrtis!!

Go Pam!
Exciting, isn't it?
Whoo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thanks Mare....my 6 month anniversary is next week and i know things will start to slow down.   Gonna pump up the exercise and hopefully be to goal by next summer.   This is all so unbelievable..isn't it?

Pam

Pam -
You have done a FINE JOB!
Congratulations!

Thanks Wendy!  Are you feeling full now since that last fill.  Noticed your were losing very well.

Pam

Pam,  That is supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!  Er, however you spell it! 

I still get astounded when I see people losing 60 in 3 mos...100 at 6 mos...you'd think I'd get the drift by now.  WLS DOES WORK!!!    Congrats!!!

Thanks!  I now have to kick the exercise up even more so I can continue.  Yesterday i walked 2 20 min miles in my neighborhood which is very hilly and that in itself is a major accomplishment.  At my peak wt, knees hurt so bad, i couldn't do the hills and then even when i started i was at 30 min a mile.

Do you have an appt for your initial consult yet?

Take care, Pam

Pam, Yes, I do!  Here's what's on my calendar for the WLS stuff:

August 21 - First support group meeting (sponsored by the surgical group)
August 26 - Psych consult
August 27 - PCP appointment to recheck thyroid
September 2 - Psych follow-up AND information class at the surgical group

It's been a long wait but I've had a lot of time to research and work through some emotional stuff, so I'm thankful for the time I've had.    Thank you for asking!
