Well, here I am all 139 pounds of me..size 12 Skinny jean..have loose skin issues but I can deal withthat..I feel great.  My knee surgery recovery is going well and I think alot of it has to do with me being so small.  YES, me..SMALL. 

Off all meds but thyroid and feeling like a real person, still have trouble seeing myself as others do..I buy small clothes thinking they would never fit me..but they do!

It was ..is all worth it to have had the bypass...would do it again..should have done it sooner..but thankful to be me in the here and now.

Thanks for all the support on OH, I find our real life friends want us to stop long before our body says it is time to stop.

So there it is.......thin for life..or thin to live life!

warm hugs to all,
Debbie

well, here I am at 153 pounds, can't believe it..but my BMI still says I am overweight..if i could cut off the loose skin I would be at my perfect body weight..but I am happy with myself and even the loose skin isn't that bad....the wrinkles on my face do bug me and I 'd be a liar if I said different.  But boobless and flat butted me is ok with me.

Fall is here and I am cold all the time, so I do the Grandma thing and always carry a sweater for going in stores and resturants.

Having knee surgery next month time for the real reason I had to lose the weight..new knees.  I am ready and even though it will throw the holidays off for us better late than never.

Hope all of you are doing well...keep on keeping on!

Found some paperwork from 2009 that said I weighted 278..well I am down to 164 now and have 10 pounds to go to have iseal body weight....other than an ulcer issue i have been great..love my skinny self!

I go see Dr Pender Tuesday the 12th and I have a few questions..I have only lost 2 pounds since Feburary and that bumbs me out!

My husband is not thrilled with all my loose skin and wants me to have surgery to have it removed, but our insurance wont cover that..I am not as bothered, it is my badge of courage.   Besides when they did my surgery they found out my liver is in BAD shape and so is my Spleen and I am a bleeder so that would be stupid to chance it to be a thin corspe..not thanks.

Anxious to see what the dr has to say, my tummy has been hurting some and still can't eat more than a cup of food.

But I am 2 pounds away from losing 100 pounds in 8 1/2 months!
Keep on truckin..
 

Well, feeling good and down to 177 at a stall right now but still being able to wear a size 16 jean and large shirt feels good...Having a problem being tired and hard to eat 60 grsmd of protein, never get hungry .  Have gotten into day and night firming cream for the wrinkles and if I didn't have the loose skin I would probably weight 160, but it is what it is.
Don't see my Dr until mid-April but no issues...I will be in the 160's then and almost at goal.
Bought myself a necklace for my 95 pounds down..it says.."Life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself"  I love it! And I earned it!!
Peace out..keep on respecting yourself and all your hard work, it is worth it.  

Feeling pretty good but my protein level is low and my platlets are very low..enlarged spleen and liver disease..tired a lot but weight wise doing ok..at a stall right now but that means when this passes I will be in the 170's..OMG!  Small cute clothes and my hair is thickening up some..I will do this only 35 pounds to goal..that will mean a loss of 128 pounds!

Stay tuned for more...  

Well, had my visit with Dr Pender and i am right on target and he was very pleased..informed me no knee surgery until I am one year out.."If you can't grow hair, you can't heal."  So that is on hold, he says my body's goal is 150 pounds and I am at 184 now..34 pounds from GOAL..awesome and weird..my head has almost caught up with my body size, but it is still all so new..
The nurse had to go fine a small blood pressure cuff!!  And I saw a lady in a wide wheelchair and remember being in one of those myself...even when i dry my clothes on the rack in the laundry room they have so much space and only half way fill the washer now because there so much less fabric in my new sizes.  It is all wonderful and I can do so much more...life is good....  

  I go see my Dr next week and will have more to share but I feel great and I am down from a size 28 to a 16..only complaint is my hair or lack there of..thin and fuzzy I am getting a hair cut next week to try to give it now strength and keep taking my 10,000 mgs of Biotin...
More next week.
 

Check me out..down 52 pounds in 3.5 months....from 273 this time last year to 205....feeling better everyday!
 

Today is three months since my WLS and I weigh 208 pounds!  I am down a total of 65 pounds from when I first started and 48 pounds since my surgery.
I went to Goodwill and bought a size XL pants..NOT a 1XL not a 2XL..but an XL and they fit and are comfortable, noone was as surprised as I was.  I bought an Ann Taylor sweater and top also a size  XL and again it fit.  I have thrown away all my granny panties and anything that is too big goes to Goodwill....I am only going to wear what FITS.  No more hiding in baggy clothes, who was I kidding??!!
When I feel my stomach laying down it is so weird, when I turn on my side I feel my ribs and a curved waist...unreal.  Of course the boobs...play TAPS...are headed south like Nascar! But Who cares..less to stuff in a shirt.
I still look at myself....wowed...
