I think it's because we're all pretty proud of ourselves. If you would've asked me my weight 4 months ago... Oh hell no lol.

Wow! Sometimes the stats amaze me! And Gastric..yes, Im one of your regular readers. I follow several from VST. Its so interesting to see the life altering change after this surgery...and most in such a short period. There has to be some self image shock with that. I expect to lose slow once I get there. Im not only not in the highest of BMI but Im only 5'0...lucky me lol..5lbs looks like 15. But I hope that works in reverse too. ; )

Cool! I posted my nine week update today. Frankly, the physical stuff is easy...it's the emotional stuff and my having to stare my emotional eating straight in the face day in, day out. That's the real work! Nutritionist is helpful, sure...but the real benefit comes from my therpist!
