24 week post op visit with surgeon

Hi all, Sorry I havent posted here in a while but now I just had to share my news! I had a visit with my surgeon today and he confirmed what I already knew - I am doing great! I now weigh 142 lbs and am 19 lbs away from my goal which will make me a century club memeber! I posted some more info in my profile as well as an updated picture. I hope you all are doing well also! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/142/123

Congratulations Andrea you have done a wonderful job working your tool.....I am glad all is well and you are almost at goal ..... Keep up the good work...and stop by more often..... Christine

Hiya Christine, Thank you! I will try to stop by more often... it seems that things move so quickly here!! I come one day and then the next time I get here all the topics are new! LOL God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Andrea, you look bsolutely fantabulous! *whistling* You have done a great job with your WL. Keep up the great work!! Jalonda 371/259/160?

Hiya Jalonda, Thank you for your kind words and your whistle!!! I havent heard one of those in YEARS!!! LOL God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Hiya Evelyn, Thanks so much for your kind words. Question for you - how much past goal are you and do people tell you that you are "too skinny"? People are starting to say that to me and I dont like it, lol. I still have a big gut (always where I retained weight the longest and where it goes first when I gain) and I am not nearly even skinny. Yes I have lost lots of wieght and yes I look 100% better but I am not skinny. I am not even "normal" wieght! LOL soooo how do you deal with it?? God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Hey there Andrea. Well I am 13lbs past goal and I am feeling great I went from a size 22/24 pants to a size 4/5 pants now. As for people telling me I look to skinny oh brother do they ever they tell me I am looking anorexix (don't think I spelled that right but I know you can understand it) It makes me crazy still when they make those kinds of comments but hey I did this for me not them. I have to say as for the gut yes I have one but ya know what I am the only one (aside fom my DH who see's it ) and to be honest it is in my opinion looking like the streched out skin left over from when I had my 2 kids . I had thought about getting PS (Tummy Tuck) but I said If I know me I am going to find something else wrong with me and keep getting the PS so I figured let it be and be happy for what I have accomplished thus far so I will NOT be doing the PS. I am not saying there is anything wrong with getting PS but for me I will not do it. I hope this has helped and I hope you have the best journey in you life that you can imangine. Have a great evening and I will talk to you soon. :love;{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} Evelyn 247/134/past goal and feeling GREAT!!!!!!!

Hi Evelyn, Thanks for your reply, it definitely helped. I have to keep reminding myself that I did this for health reasons and NOT so that I can fit into whatever mold it is that this world has decided LOOKS best - that aint happening anyway - I am too short, lol (barely 5'2") I dont think I will ever get plastic surgery either - except the possiblity of a breast reduction and lift. When I take my bra off, they hang so much and it pulls on the sides and I get shooting pains so if this pain continues that is something I would consider, but as far as the rest of it - not for me either. Thanks again for your reply and your encouragement! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Great job Andrea!!! Keep up the awesome work!!! Karry 311/195/167 goal
