Well ladies, I made it. Nine months after surgery and I made goal. I wanted to someday be "normal", have a BMI of 25. Bingo, finally made it this past Monday. Woo-hoo!

Went jeans shopping with my mom. I'm now a BMI of 25, which at only 5'1" means a weight of 132lbs. I'm wearing a size 4 petite. My smallest size of my adult life has been a 10. Well, until now. It's weird. I'm still adjusting. But sometimes it's very, very good.

Got a new do to go with my new figure. Now I've been out aquiring a new wardrobe. Still have a few things to get but it's going really good so far.

Thanksgiving I had turkey, a little bit of broccoli cheese casserole, and a bite of sweet potato casserole. It was all really good. Not overeating felt good. I played Sorry and deliberately lost so my five year old could win. ;-)

Lord, give me stregth and when I lack it, patience.

Great job! I haven't been on this forum much lately and was really wowed by the difference in your avatar. Please post pics of the new do. You must look absolutely fab! Umber, you're a great inspiration to those of us still working our way throuh the steps to WLS. I finally have my surgical consult tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well and I can be successful as you when I'm nine months out.
