Next goal is "normal BMI", which for my height is 149.9 lbs. I'm painfully close, but I guess I can be satisfied with not putting any pounds on over Thanksgiving.
So I've been silent on these forums for a long time, but i'm jumping in now to be more active! I need something to start holding myself more accountable as I've been hitting a lot of stalls lately....and cheating with my food choices lately. :(
Anyhow - here are my stats!
High Weight: 352
Last Week: 237
This week: 235
Next Goal: 199.....common onderland!
I wish I had waited until today to post. the scale said 224. It is such a tease, I know it will say 226 on my next weigh-in day. lol it is such a jerk.

These posts worry me when I see them, as I guess it's the surgeon that has told you it's a "sadi ds"?
These are in fact two very different surgeries, but I've heard there may be a few surgeons doing the sadi, and billing insurance for a DS (DS is a known and usually covered surgery, where as the sadi is NOT, and is new and considered experimental as there is NO long ter data on it yet).
DS and sadi or Sips NOT THE SAME SURGERY. PERIOD.
