 WHATS YOUR STATS

Hi Judy..you scare me that headline/title....I'm thinking..Oh crap...don't tell me he is going to another hospital across the country.

My overall starting weight  (pre band in 2004)
was.....271
lowest with the band was 180 home scale...for one minute.
I seemed to settle in to 210 in 2006/2007
2007 October...broken band....and weight escalated to 240 prior to RNY
surgery on 7/8/08.
Current weight......198

current size   XL/1X on top, previously a tight 3x

current bottom   18x  (18 regular a freckle too tight) previously a 24/26

bra size....biggest change I think....previous  52/42  GG

currently 40/41  G   (still too big--blame my father's Italian side)

Things are going well for me overall, although today I have been aggravated because of the recent slowdown in my weight loss.  I've only lost 2 pounds since the beginning of October - and none this week.  Why is it so hard to be patient?
