I've graduated to this Board!

Good morning fellow WLS Grads! I've finally made it to this board. I'm a year out last Thursday and am happy to say I've lost a total of 191 pounds in a year, with a grand total loss of 291.4 pounds. It's been a tremendous journey for me. I am working towards my goal at 160 pounds, only 33 pounds away. I know that this part of my WLS journey will be the most difficult but I won't give up. I will get there! I had a bad day yesterday as I ate foods that I shouldn't have and my pouch let me know that. I didn't dump but had a lot of pain in my pouch. Today I'm going back to basics and drinking a lot of fluids. Wishing everyone a wonderful day! Hugs, Lucy

My stats are: 484.8/383.4/193.4/160 Pre-surgery/Surgery Day/Current/Goal I forget that not all of the boards are updated. Lucy

WOW. Your success is truly inspirational. Congrats !! Karen G

Thanks Karen for your response. Lucy

Hi Lucy! I met you at the Vernon Hills and Northbrook support group meetings last week ... congrats on the year milestone and the awesome weight loss (plus you look fantastic, and I am very envious of your tan)! Hope to see you at another support group meeting soon (and I promise I will NOT monopolize the meeting ... I am quite embarrassed about that and had NO intention of just blurting out everything)! --Karyn

Oh yeah ... and welcome to this board!!

Karyn, I sent you an email. We are in this together, so what one might discuss at a support meeting could indeed help another member. We should feel that there's nothing that we can't share with our support group. Thanks for your reply. See you soon! Hugs, Lucy

Lucy, congratulations on a wonderful year, welcome to the Grad Boards. Wow, you have done fantastic! Dana
