100 Pounds

[Barisaxylady 154]

Officially hit the 100 pound weight loss mark this morning! Couple this with fitting into a size 13 JUNIORS yesterday, I'm one pretty stoked lady! Started pre-op diet at 257 at the beginning of August, had surgery 9/25/12 at 237 got on the scale this morning at 157! Surgeons office scale has slightly different numbers but I go off my own scale. Six more to go to surgeons goal, nine more to mine. Had six month post op appt last Friday and was told again I am doing as well as a by-pass patient.

Now comes the hard part of hitting goal and surviving summer vacation (I'm a teacher) including three weeks in Wildwood (beach in NJ) and a short cruise in August. Bathing suit and clothes shopping has been so much fun! Best thing I've ever done for myself!

100 lbs loss!!!!!

best thing i've ever done for myself!!!

"you" look great, inspiring, wonderful et al

ya da ya da ya da!!!

thats all i ever hear!!!!

good reason, its alllll true

gotcha

did you really think i was "yelling"??

you have done terrific

worried about maintaining et al??? (understandable, common concern)

the day i/you/we stop worrying about eating/drinking properly IMO is the day we get in trouble!!!

you just must keep doing what you have been doing

being successful with your Water, Protein, eating slowly - you know the drill

i'm sure that after all the hard work you've done these past 6 months - you are not gonna mess up now

eating a "couple" of things you wouldn't normally eat, couple things not totally Kosher - welllll....on a vaca you have a "little" room to maybe "explore" - but do your best not to stray "too much"

but i know you wouldn't dare overdue - you've come too far - and you are lookin' HOT!!!

back from vaca, get totally back to normal - you'll be great!!!

we are "told" how much money we will save on not eating out often

but we are now spending our "savings" with shopping!!!

oh well its a dirty job but......

have fun buying your swimming suits, other clothes for your great trip

btw - if you have some extra space in your suitcase for a friend???

I don't take up much room

congrats girlfriend

[playlikeworldchamps 595]

all I want to say is I'm very impressed. and going to wildwood for 1 week in July exactly 4 months after my surgery. I hope to be down 40 lbs by then. I can't seem to lose as fast as others but every person and sleeve is different!

[Barisaxylady 154]

I truly can't believe I am the same person! Thanks everyone for your words of praise. Used correctly, the sleeve can work wonders!

Congratulations!! Great job! I was also glad to hear that you are spending 3 weeks in Wildwood, NJ. My favorite place in the world! Grew up in south Jersey and spent every vacation of my life there. Have fun!
