I don't know what to call "the 300s". There's the cute names TWOterville and ONEderland, but no similarly cutesy name for the 300s. Some people DO want to Celebrate that!! LIKE ME!

This morning, my scale said 397. :) That's a total of 62lbs lost since November 2012 high weight, and 20lbs lost since surgery 11 days ago.

This feels so good. I'm succeeding! Hooray!

Thanks, everyone. I'm so, so happy about this. For the first time since surgery, i actually did my hair AND make up. :) Feeling more like myself everyday!

Last night, I put on music and danced around my living room. I haven't done that IN YEARS. I used to do it all the time when I was younger, but then I gained too much weight and moving around was difficult and painful. But I felt like a kid again, just dancing away. Now I need to learn new moves! lol

I know it will only get better. I am so excited to see where life takes me. I'm trying to figure out where my first plane trip will be - still a ways off, but I'm thinking I want to go to Vegas. Or Atlantic City. I'm leaning toward AC because I also want to see the ocean!

Just saw this post. I'm so happy for you!!! I'm still on the 6 month supervised diet but my last weigh in was 404. I'm getting close to the 300's and I can't wait! I totally know how you feel!

Keep up the awesome work! You are truly an inspiration for me and I can't wait to be sleeved and on the same journey as you!!

Good luck to you Kim!! I was at 406 day before surgery and was so hoping to get to the 300s before surgery, but it just didn't happen. Felt awesome get here, tho - I know when I get to the 200s, I'll be numb from excitement!

Good luck to you, too - how long do you have left? Do you have a surgery date?

Awesome! And just yesterday you were feeling so discouraged. This must feel so great!

By the way I don't mean to creep you out, but you are really quite beautiful. I think it each time I see your user pic.

@@makemyownluck, I first read this post 6 months ago, sitting well above 400 lb. I've spent much of the time since dreaming of joining you in Tres Town.

I finally decided to have surgery two months ago and am far enough along in the process to be on my pre-op liver-shrinking diet (<40g carb/day, 3 weeks).

This morning I hit 397, first time in the 300's in a long time. Thank you for your inspiration and co-celebration, if separated by a few months.

      2 of the Biggest NSV thus far in my life; 1) my 6yr old daughter can wrap her arms around me for the first time ever! 2) My 12yr old son is having a basketball game for the parents vs. their players and I am playing with him! Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago! 
      This surgery has changed my life for the better!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
