Week of Wow's

Hi all - Sorry I haven't been around much these last few months.  With starting a new position, I haven't had much time to check the postings here.  Just so you all know where I was, I had my lapband surgery in Dec 07 and had a starting weight of 465 before I started the liquid diet.  Well this week, I finally hit below 300 lbs for a total loss to date of 170lbs.  My BMI has dropped from 72.8 to 46.4.  I am only 200lbs away from my personal goal of 200lbs.  So much has changed for the better.  I am able to walk and shop and basically enjoy life again.  This was the best decision I have ever made.  Just had to share with you all becuase sometimes I have a hard time believing it myself.

That is amazing!!!! Congrats on the loss so far! You are an inspiration to us all!

Amazing! Congratulations on a fantastic job thus far.

Congratulations to you!!! 

Fantastic...its a great feeling.. enjoy every minute of it..
you deserve it

Therese, we've had several people asking about lap band for higher BMI and I couldn't think of anyone specifically that I could remember on here who had it, but you certainly would be a great inspiration to anyone looking to do the lap band.

What a wonderful job you have done with the lap band.  My doctor wouldn't do it on me because of my higher BMI.  I wanted lap band because I was scared of the surgery, but I've done fine with it.

You have done so awesome.  I wish you could post more often so that we could get to know you better.  Congratulations!

Hi Therese!  Nice to meet you!  Congratulations on your weightloss!   

How awesome!  Inspirational!

Please tell us more when you have time!

You are an inspiration, well done girl.

Therese - i'm late to the party, but wanted to pass along my CONGRATULATIONS!  You are doing a super job, keep up the good work.  I LOVE your new haircut/color, it looks great.  Lys
