Saw my surgeon today, officially, for the record, down that 112 pounds and in the obese range!

Wow. Congratulations to you !!! That's amazing.
I"m not at my goal weight. In fact, my surgeon never gave me one.
But i'm got about 75 pounds to my own goal weight, which will still be on the heavy side - but given my bone structure and all the excess skin i'll have, will probably be about right. That's where my trainer at the gym says i should probably be.
I don't know cause i've never ever been at a weight i should be.
Anyways.... I'm so happy for you. And Happy Surgiversary!

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Speaking of "merely overweight": I happened to pass that milestone yesterday. My BMI is now under 30. It is so good to get away from the o-b-e-s-e word, which just SOUNDS rude. Stephanie, I am looking forward to hearing that you have gotten rid of it too. For now, many congratulations on getting rid of "morbidly," not to mention "super." One step at a time -- they are all cause for shouting it from the rooftops.
Lorelei,
Congratulations!!
That's awesome.
I'll be so happy to get rid of the obese label altogether, but considering where i've come from and how long i was at that super morbidly obese stage, or even the morbidly obese, to be able to drop THAT word is awesome !
and yep - every little victory is worth celebrating.
Honestly, so much of my life is just not right right now that i try to remain positive and celebrate the victories and little things, wherever i find them !

WOO HOO !!!!
It took me what seemed like forever to get my BMI below the Obese range!!! I am so short, I had to get to 163.6 to be there and I was stuck in the 170's for the longest time.
You will get there! I don't think I will ever get to the normal BMI range - for me that would be less than 136 pounds and I just don't see it. I am happy with where I am now - my figure is nice and the loose skin isn't terrible and I know it would be worse at 136 (I am at 153 now) and I would probably lose the rest of my boobage which I am hanging onto for now.
When you get to the "Overweight" it will be sooo sweet!!
