Almost to ONEderland....YAY
I had my surgery the 13th of August. I am now 5 months and 5 days out. I got on the scale his morning and weigh 203..I have lot 75 pounds. I can't believe how much better I feel. I regretted the surgery at first because I was in so much discomfort for the fist 3 weeks, I thought oh boy what did I do? I wouldn't change a thing now. Do you know how long it has been since i weighed 203...A VERY LONG TIME!!!! I am so close to ONEderland and I am so excited. To get to my drs goal I have 53 pounds to go. I would be happy at 160. I am so excited today. I started wearing size 26 pants and yesterday I bought a size 16. Did I say how happy I am. All I can say to people just starting out is, It is worth everything that you go through. The pain afterwards was extreme for me, but now it is so worth it. I was going to have surgery on October of 14 and chickened out, thank god for my dr. who urged me to have the sleeve, I would'nt be where I an if it wasnt for him.

That is so wonderful! Good for you. I know the feeling, my biggest size jeans was a 28 - I'm in a 10 now. It's very exciting, have fun on the journey.

I absolutely remember that feeling of ONEderland. When I finally made it I found out during my orientation at my new job when I dashed into the bathroom to pee. When I was rushing back I saw a scale and slave to it as I am I jumped on and discovered I had made it 6 lbs ago (194) I sat in that public bathroom and cried for a while...best cry ever
