Down 75 pounds--3/4 of the way done!

Hi everyone, I am happy to announce that I am down 75 pounds and have lost 75% of my goal! Hooray! Things have certainly slowed down (not that my weight loss was ever fast ) but I am still losing about a pound a week. My daughter is getting married next week and I am so happy that I will look nice for the wedding. It has been very hot here this summer and it is nice to not be sweating like a pig all day. Also, I went in for a check-up with my doctor, and my blood pressure has gone way down. I was border-line high before my surgery, but this last time I was only 100/64. That's about what it was when I was a svelte teenager! My doctor is amazed at how good I look, and is quite pleased with my progress. She wants to see me every three months just to get a look at me. To anyone who is on the fence thinking about RNY, let me tell you it is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Sue F.

Congratulations Sue, I know exactly how you feel.......Post some of the wedding pictures. Dot

Yeah Sue, you're doing great!!!! Cathy Fowler

Congratulations Sue! Way to go. -Pam

Hi Sue! Way to go! You are doing great! I know what you mean about happy to look good for special events. We found out 3 weeks ago that we are going to be first time grandparents. Our daughter-in-law is thin and I always felt even bigger around her. It will be a lot more fun to have pictures holding the baby in my size 8 clothes. Keep up the good work, I'm so proud of you.
