good morning all. well my stomach has finally settled for the most part. it was downright painful last night and early afternoon.  i changed my weight goal from 155 to 140. so i have to lose 23.3 pounds now. i think i can do it by the end of september.  my doc might throw a hissy fit, but i would like to get there.  i could go ahead and have m y surgery at 150 i think. and then i would lose 5-8 pounds from the skin. so it is 13 pounds i need to lose before surgery.  had to go to the doc today, getting a sinus infection. with me they turn into nightmares about 4-6 times a year. i didn't want to leave and visit my daughters and get sick there. hope all is well with everybody.  i probably talk to you later. vick

Hey Vick. I'm glad you have finally gotten relief from your tummy pain! Ohhh that is one of the worst!
I'm glad to hear you took the initiative to get your sinus troubles taken care of before they got the best of you. It will clear up so much faster for you too!
Vick, are you still actively  and easily losing weight? How long since your surgery?
My weight loss slowed wayyyyyyyyyyyyy down after 8 months. More so than the norm. From 8 to 10 months out, my weight stayed the same. Then it took me a while to lose the next 3 lbs.
But I am down 94 lbs as of today and am thrilled with my progress so far!
Oh yes.. today is my surgiversary!

well congrats on your surgiversay!  i am 6 months out and i have lost 120 lbs since i first started this process in nov of 08.since i started eating more i have started losing weight more quickly again. i was on a stall for about a month and half.if i can lose 20 lbs by the end of aug or first of sept.   then have 5-8 taken off with a panni then i would lose the rest of the weight to get to 140 by lack of appetite.doc wants me at 160 but i don't want to weigh that much. i am 5 ft 6 in. and that is just too much weight for me. how tall are you?  what does your doc say about what he wants you to weigh? i had my surgery 1/22/09 so tomorrow is my 6 mth surgiversary. lol.you are doing great and your face looks about right to me. do u still want to lose? your avitar says 26 pds to go, is that true, mine now says 23 since i changed my goal from 155 to 140.  well must go. have a good evening. vick

Thanks Vivk for the congrats!  Yes, it is true I still want to lose at least another 26 lbs. I am at 176. My docs goal for me is 170, but mine is 150. At 170, I am still in the overweight BMI range.
Before I had kids, I was around 135. That was my initial goal, but then revised it, as I am older now and that is likely not practical for me. So, I WILL get to 150, and then see from there.
My surgeon says that because I am big boned m that I wouldn't be happy lower than 170. I say I will. I would be thrilled actually! LOL. Oh yeah, and I am 5'6" tall as well.

MAN oh MAN Vick, you lost FASTTTTTT!  How much did you lose just since surgery? I am assuming the 120 since you started this process, includes pre-op time as well? You are kicking butt!!!!!! I am so happy for you and proud of you! 

You have a great evening as well!

i think i lost about 27 pounds before surgery, so that would  make it about 93 pounds in 6 months.  doesn't  sound as impressive that way. have a good evening. vick
