Why hello everyone on the LW board! I tried to find this board awhile ago, and had no luck. My Angel, Gina, pointed me here.
A little about me: I had the second half of my DS done on 11-29 so I'm 3 weeks out today. Healing up well and feeling good. I highest weight was 262, which was before my 10 day pre-op diet for my VSG on 4-6-11. I went into my DS with a weight of 226. I'm 5'3. My goal weight is 125....provided I look decent at that weight. I have a feeling I'll look too skinny there, but we'll see. I'm not feeling "normal" yet, but it'll com, I'm sure. I'm a scale Nazi and weigh at least twice a day. Interesting to watch the number change between morning and night, bouncing all around.
I'm a happily married mother of five, ranging in ages from 11 to 10 months. The only boy is the baby. I am now a stay-at-home mom and love it. Prior to staying at home I was a correctional officer in the state prison, then worked at the county jail doing the same and also E911 dispatching. Sometimes I miss working, just to get out of the house and have some adult interaction, but I love staying at home with my kids, too. My husband works on the oil field and loves it. He has been doing that for about 5 years now and is gone a week, then home a week.
Hope to get to know you all. I love the support that this site has to offer. Have a great day and a Merry Christmas!

WELCOME and Congrats on your surgery!
I bet you will be perfect at 125! I'm 4'11" and I definitely wasn't too thin at 125.
It's OK to be a scale Nazi as long as the numbers jumping around don't upset you. I weigh myself every morning but I avoid the scale in the afternoon. I have no idea how much it goes up as the day goes on and I don't want to.
I loved being a stay at home Mom when my girls were younger.
The LW board is my only support group and it's a great group of ladies and gents.

Hi Mindy and welcome to the LW Board.
Congratulations on getting your surgery completed. I am 5' 1 1/2" and now stay around 126-127 and I am good with that. I weigh every day atleast once - sometimes twice. Like Roz says, just don't let it bother you when it bounces around. I loved watching the numbers bounce down, up and then settle at the lower number.
Can't wait to watch your journey. I'll bet you are really busy!!
