70 lbs gone forever!!!

Hello all - well I am 2 1/2 months out (10 weeks) and I am 70 lbs down!!! That is 70 lbs that I will never see again and you know something I am not going to miss it one bit... I am loosing about 1 pound per day and my local doc says I am doing just fine in his eyes. He cannot wait till I can weigh on his office scale, and frankly, neither can I, because once I can weight there that means I will be down to like 350!!! I have not been under 400 in like 5 years. I was 430 on the 12th when I weighed, so 31 more lbs to go to be under 400. YAY!!! For those you you wondering or those that have done the math - yes I started out at 500 lbs on the nose. On my surgery day I was 500 lbs, that is insane, my bmi was 91 it is now 78... WOW!!! My partner is absolutely amazed at the changes I am going through, I went to Barnes & Noble with her yesterday and before surgery she would stand in line and get us coffees or whatever, and she would go walk around and look at books I would just walk in grab a magazine or two on the way through and leave it at that. But yesterday I stood in line for drinks (1 venti white chocolate mocha for her and 1 non fat decaf SF vanilla iced latte for me) which took like 5 minutes, then I walked around and looked at some books for like 15 minutes. I havn't been able to stand and walk for more than 2-3 minutes at a time for years. This is wonderful!!!! I LOVE DR AGUIRRE!!!!! Take care - Jeremy

Good for you Jeremy!! Soon you'll be under 400, and what a day that will be!!! Sounds like you're doing very well. Keep up the good work! Best wishes, Kina 220/147/120?

Jeremy You are doing fantasic .... Your partner is not going to be able to keep up with you soon =) ... Just keep up the great work ... I am so glad to hear that you are wasting away Hugs Kim

Isn't life grand Jeremy!?! I am so incredibly happy for you! I too couldn't walk around for very long, but now you can't even make me sit down! This past christmas was awesome because I (Me!) actually did the shopping! I'm madly in love with Dr. Aguirre too. It doesn't help that he's hot too! I'm glad you are reaping the rewards of this surgery and getting to experience all those little "ah ha" moments that we all love! Although, it's true, we never want to have to have them again! Cheers! Lorraine
