I DID IT!!!!!!!

I am there! As of today 100.5 lbs GONE I started crying I was so happy! I am 9.5 lbs away from Dr. Byrne's goal and I am 7 mths out. I could not be happier Thanks for all the support Julie

Yipeeeeee, Congrats Julie. It is amazing how good that 100 lb mark fees! Susann

It truly is! I started crying and hugging my dogs I was so happy. Thanks Susann. Julie

7 months out and only 9.5 lbs away from your doctors goal! Amazing! My surgery was only a few days after yours and I still have 26 more pounds to my doctor's goal. Ugh... Come over and rub some of that sucess onto me!! Kathy

Thanks Kathy. I honestly think my surgeon gave me a high goal. I tell you I was and am boiund and determine to get to my goal. Which is, as of today, only 34 more lbs. Woo Hoo! Thanks for the support and I am sending you internet success that you will get to your Dr.'s goal. Julie

Oh my gosh, Julie!!! That's AWESOME!!! So happy for you! Dawn

Thanks Dawn. I am amazed! It feels great! Julie

Congratulations. I know exactly how great you feel. I just hit the 100 lb mark today myself but it took me 10 months. You are doing great. I just want to run down the street screaming "I lost 100 lbs" but then if someone asked how and I said I had gastric bypass they would think I didn't work for it when this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but it is also the best thing I have done. I am living again!! Keep up the good work!!

Congrats right back to you! That is wonderful Do not worry about the length of time it took to get to that 100 lb mark. I saw someone on the main board that lost 100 lbs in like 3 mths! We are all different, some lose it fast some lose it slow. The point is we lose it and we are healthier for it. I agree about running down the street. I just want to step outside and shouting to the world! I have found people to VERY receptive to the fact that I had WLS. And you are right, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Taking that leap of faith to put your life back in your hands is hard. Who cares what others think. You know how hard it was, this is not the easy way out. You are still dieting and exercising, just like those millions that do not have WLS. We just needed an extra tool to make it more of a success. You keep up the good work also. I do not think I will ever forget this day. Julie

Way to go...doing the happy dance for ya!!! --Kelly
