I am overweight!

ROTFLOL, I never thought I would be so happy to be considered overweight but hey, I am not obese anymore!! WOO HOO Yay for me. My high weight this past summer at my doctor's office was 223. When I had surgery I was down to 215. I am now 163 and I am officially overweight!!! 27 more lbs to go until I am in the normal range!! I can't believe it!! Prior to considering surgery I never thought I would see this weight. Once I decided to have the surgery I figured it would still take many months to get where I am now. Instead, here I am only 3 months out!! I cant believe it! I am thrilled, especially considering I am feeling great, have never dumped and can eat pretty much everything the doctor has allowed me to try (meats, veggies, salads, fruit). There isnt anyone in my close personal life who truly understands how I am feeling (either they were never overweight and dont understand the struggle, or they are still where they were before and although happy for me, still stuck where they were) but I know people here understand. :D God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Andrea, That is such great news! I am very happy for you. You sound like you are in such a good place, and I look forward to the day when I can feel the same way! All the best! Gail

Thanks Gail, The time has gone by quickly since I had my surgery, although it seemed to drag on forever before! lol Before you know it you will be posting about how great you are doing! I am looking forward to hearing how you are! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/163/130

Congratulations Andrea. Wow, what a remarkable accomplishment. I am happy for you and you should be very proud of yourself. Keep up the great work. Peace and God's blessing always. Glenda

I cant wait to be OVERWEIGHT!! Congrats Andrea! 27 more is nothing! Its gotta be one of the BEST feelings in the world! Good luck with the next 27! Stephanie

Thanks so much Stephanie - Good luck on your journey!! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/163/130

Thanks Glenda I was actually supposed to have my surgery on September 21, but the insurance wanted more doctor supervised diet information so I had to postpone until November - that was such an dissappointment at the time - and even now I wonder what I would be down to if I had the surgery then, but there really is no use wondering that, and I am so happy to be doing as well as I am! How are you doing? God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/163/130

Congratulations! Did you get rid of all the obese clothes? That's what I'm looking forward to. Just think what your first summer as a "normal" person will be like. Keep up the good work. -Cheryl-

Thank you Cheryl, I have a bunch of clothes in a pile on the floor, I havent gotten rid of them yet but I will be soon! I cant even imagine what I will look like this summer but I am sure looking forward to getting some new summer clothes! Good luck to you in your journey! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/163/130
