Today is my 8 month surgiversary. I had wanted to weigh 225 by today but I did fall a bit short. This morning I weighed 226.4, so that means I have lost 121 pounds !!!!!!! YEAH !!!!!!!!!
If you go with the weight the chart says 175 for me then I still need to lose 51.4 pounds to be at my ideal weight. I don't know how far I will get I like to believe I might get there. I personally have always thought of my ideal weight as 180 and I would like to get there. But the truth is If I break into the 199 I would be THRILLED !!!!!! I dont know howmuch more I will lose. The doctor says your body has a comfort weight and when it reaches it that's where you will be, that's why they do not set a weight goal for you. I am so happy to be where i am right now this is the weight I was when I was 16 and I feel pretty good about that. I hope I go all the way but the surgery has already done what I really wanted from it, I am healthier, not diabetic anymore and that alone was worth the price of admission.
