Reached Goal

I went to see Dr. B yesterday and I am officially at goal.  I've lost 71 pounds and feel like a new person.  I even got to take my "After" pictures.  I had then email them to me and I've posted both my "Before and After" pictures on my profile.  This has been quite the ride.  I am so happy with the surgery and my results.  I may still lose a few more pounds, but if not, I am content to have lost 94% of my excess body weight and to finally have a BMI of 24!!

Woohoooo

Congratulations :) Looks like you did it before your one-year, right? Yay for finishing early ^^)/ I go in for my six-month this Thursday and honestly, I'm scared of what he's going to say...

Don't be scared of that cajun! LOL!  You go in with your head held high because you have done an amazing job!

Don't worry about Dr. B.  He is always glad to see that I am healthy again but he always rips me for my compliance.  I never drink enough, eat a few carbs here and there and an occasional sweet, so he always gripes at me.  I think it is good to have the reminders and I always listen to him but I am realistic and know that I will occasionally eat things that they don't want me to.  The main thing is I try to eat a balanced meal, choose healthy snacks if I need one, and do my best overall.

I agree with Debtfree, hold your head high and be proud of yourself for how far you've come so far.

Good luck.

Wow!!!!  It just seems like yesterday that we were praying for your recovery.  Even though you had so many complications it is so great to see you come out on the other side looking and feeling so good!  Congratulations on making goal!!

Yes we all did a lot of praying and I am telling you I would not have made it through the hard times if it weren't for everyone's support and prayers.  You all are the best.

Congrats on getting to your goal.
So happy for you.

Thank you very much.  You are doing awesome also.

hey you how wonderful it is to be at goal! congrats ya sexy thing!
BTW ya need to change your BMI on your profile.
CONGRATSSSSSSSSSS

I thought about that but Jess at WW said she thought I could get down to 124 so I left that as a goal, but honestly I am very happy at 134 so that is where I'm at now.  I think it is possible for me to get there though because my weight is dropping again for some reason.  I'll be happy right where I'm at if I don't lose another pound.

What a ride!
