Nursebarbie 392 Posted July 8, 2013 Haven't been under 200 pounds in over a decade and even then I was 190 pounds. Lapband got 40 pounds off and now post op 10days sleeve I got another 14 pounds off. I am 9 pounds away from being under 200 pounds! My birthday is july 31st so its my goal to reach under 200 pounds by then. I am so excited! 4 vicki s, Ms skinniness, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted July 8, 2013 birthday is july 31st - goal, to reach under 200 pounds by then. Nursebarbie those 14 lbs are only the first of many many more lbs to come off being so early PO - its quite possible you will lose those 9 lbs as a b'day present playing devils advocate - if it takes an additional week or so to attain your goal....... whats a couple of weeks in a lifetime good luck happy early b'day you will continue to look better and better year after year enjoying your healthier, happier, longer life kathy 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted July 8, 2013 Doesn't this feel simply amazing! This is the taste of success and there's more to come really soon..... CONGRATS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nursebarbie 392 Posted July 8, 2013 Yes it does because I have gone through so much with the lapband and to have two procedures at one time was tough. I'm hoping the sleeve will carry me the rest of the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
