Reached my goal!

Yesterday I reached my goal weight (actually went a half pound below). I lost 105 1/2 pounds in only 7 1/2 months! I am amazed and floored. This was the best decision I ever made. Anyone out there on the fence, please realize how life changing this surgery is. I no longer am diabetic. I no longer have high blood pressure. I can shop in "regular" stores for clothes, and I will be around to see my 8 year old grow up. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Stacey!!! That is wonderful news!!! I had my surgery 3 months ago tomorrow. I lost 60 lbs. I have another 25 lbs to go to reach goal. I might try going smaller if it happens. My lose has slowed down some but I think I did ok. I see my surgeon on Aug 5th. he will let me know if I did good. My health problems (some the same as yours) are doing so much better. I feel good. I just wanted to say "You Go Girl"!! Enjoy your new look and happiness. You have lots of living to do!!! RJ

Thanks for the words of encouragement! Sounds like you're doing great! Good luck reaching your goal and keep up the good work! Stacey

Thanks Stacey..the thing that worries me is that I have tried foods I would have thought would make me sick and yet I can eat them. The worse thing that happens is that I feel so full and it bothers me. I haven't gotten sick. Sometimes I think "did I really have the surgery" Take care and stay well and keep going!!!

HEY STACEY OMG CONGRATS ON BEING AT YA GOAL WEIGHT AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT U WILL BE AROUND TO SEE YA 8 YEAR OLD GROW UP I'M SURE HE'S HAPPY TOO.

U GO GIRL!!!!!! That is great 7 1/2 months and already at goal amazing!! I'm hopeing and praying i'm that fast. May all your dreams come true~~SharonBurch
