Impressed with myself!!

I just read an article about expectations and goals with WLS.  I knew this too, but forgot I guess, that most people can expect to lose about 60 to 65% of their excess weight.  I just figured out my loss and have lost about 96% of my excess weight.  WOW---I hope that I can keep it off when I lose 100% of my excess!!    Julia

You have done an absolutely incredible job of losing your excess weight Julia.......It has definitely been a journey for you and one that you have worked hard at.  I am sure you will continue to be a success with your weight loss.  Congratulations!

Wow Julia- You are very close to your goal and you have come a very long way! Congratulations!

You look great. I think that those stats sound sort of low but remember that the RNY is a tool, and I do think ones overall success depends on how you use it. And it looks like you have been doing a super job!

take care, deb366

Hey Julia, I am impressed with you, too! You are awesome! Thank you so much for posting this-we need to see more people *****ach goal or get close to it-it's very inspiring to the rest of us!

Wow ,you have done so good Julia. Good for you ,I see such a big change from when I first met you. You look fantastic, I just am so excited for all the people that have had this experiance with us. Seeing the scale go down instead of up is so great. I am looking forward to the time I can meet my goal ,I have had alot of platues. I am doctoring an ulcer right now. It seems, when you have an ulcer and can not eat you stop losing weight, sounds crazy right. I'll be all healed up soon,hopefully. Hope to see you at our next get  together. Jo Ann

Congratulations Julia!  You have been an inspiration to me since the first time I met you at Elmer's!  You look so good and should be very proud of yourself.  The first part of the weight loss is pretty easy, but once you get down to the 50% of excess weight or so, it takes a lot of work to get the rest off.  I'm happy for you!

Fantastic! Good job....keep on keepin' on!
