I legit can't wait till I get to that point in my journey. I haven't set a goal weight for myself yet.... I hear people complain mostly about the gas after surgery, I brought gas x, strips and pills. So hopefully I will not get as gassy (fingers crossed)..... congrats on being so close to your goal weight... how will you Celebrate this success?Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile appSuper proud and so much more confident / happy! You’ll love the journey- it’s amazing. The gas strips didn’t work for me but walking a lot did Buying new clothes is a constant — but fun. Just as soon as you wear it 2 times they’re too big :). So I’m not sure how I’ll Celebrate? ? Hadn’t thought of it! We just chose my weight goal— which is pretty much in middle of BMI range for 5’6... i think it’s 125-155?? So I said 140 but ideally 135 so there’s a cushion ;). Who knows - I’m psyched now so everything is gravy at this point . I’m the lightest I’ve been as an adult so that’s incredible!

Clothes shopping will be so much fun for me especially because I always try to find excuses to shop and now I will finally have one, lol.. I actually love to walk, so consistently walking won't be a problem for me.... thats a great weight goal, and yes having some cushion is always good, especially in the right places[emoji23][emoji23].Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 BostonWLKC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol. But I did everything that I was suppose to do, so I was hopeful. But getting your date feels like Christmas.
