finally..........
Hello to all of you....Most of the time I am one of the lurkers that had by pass surgery awhile back and check in daily to read the posts. Sometimes I do respond to someone...but most of the time, I just lurk...as I dont really know any of you.
But this time, I know only you people can appreicate that I finally got to one-underland. The day of my bypass surgery I weighed in at 317lb. I am 5'8" and I belive I was one of the older people to have the surgery at the time, I was 59yrs old, that was in May of 2006. I got on the scale this morning, as I always do and to my big surprise I had to move the scale weight ( I have a doctor;s scale) . I weighed in at 199.50!!! This is the first time since 1971 that I weighed under 200 lbs!!! Now I know it's only a half of a pound under the 200 mark, but this was mind blowing to me!!! Hopefully I can keep that scale weight in that position. My doctor (Dr. Harrington) wants me to get to 190 lbs. I am going to see him next week and hopefully I will stay under the 200 lb mark. Its so hard to do as time goes by. I just wanted to share this with you all because you all understand how big this is to a person who weighed over 300 lbs.
