Some of you may have noticed I have not been around as much lately. I have gotten much busier at work which limits my time and also feel I am at a point of moving forward with my life and not being such an OH addict. I always use to wonder why I wouldnt see a lot of people who were far out (except for a few!) and now I know why - eventually life happens and you just want to be a 'normal' person.

Anyways, I have been able to maintain my goal weight (145) since Feb... so 7 months. I am excited that the scale has been holding steady except my normal change of 1-3lbs... it was a big fear of mine as I got close to/reached goal that I would start to regain. I know the possibility is still there but I am much less fearful now and am more comfortable in knowing what I need to do daily to keep myself on track.

Thats pretty much about it - I am keeping my fingers crossed on getting my first round of PS next year so hopefully I will be back to talk about that!

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

1/14/2025 still maintaining 135 :-)

Extended TT, lipo, fat injections - 11/2011

BA/BL/Arm Lift - 7/2014

Scar revision on arms - 3/2015

HALO laser on arms/neck 9/2016

Thigh Lift 10/2020

Thigh Lift revision 10/2021

Hi Jenn,

Great to hear from you and I do understand what you mean about moving on ... I've been having that issue myself lately. Congratulations on maintaining your weight loss and moving forward with a 'normalized' life.

Wishing you continued success in this wonderful journey we call life!

All the best,

Barb

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

I have wondered out loud with my husband if my online time will become very minimal once I have my real life back.  My fixation with the computer started when I had to spend my last pregnancy on strict bedrest, then off and on with surgeries for a year or two after that.  Now that my weight and sciatica keep me down so much, and I don't like to watch TV or talk on the phone much, the computer it is!  :) 

Glad to hear that your life has taken off and that you are having such awesome success with maintaining your goal weight.  Seven months...that's so great! 

Good luck with your PS.  I think it's an excellent idea to wait to give your body time to adjust.  That is my plan as well. 

Take care and I hope to see some great before/after PS photos of you next year!
