Thank you everyone for the awesome comments and support.

I had my 6 month follow up and it went great. All blood work within normal limits. Still off blood pressure medication for 3 months. Down 72 pounds. I did not buy new clothes untill I hit onederland. I have gone from a 22/24 pant to a 12/14 and a tight 3x to a L/XL shirt. I even bought a shirt in the juniors!!! it was an extra large but still JUNIORS!!!! We went on vacation and I sported a regular swim suit instead of a swim dress.!!!! I am loving it.

You look amazing!!!!! Congratulations.

Congratulations. Keep up the good work!!!

Today I made it to onederland and it was an awesome feeling. It took me longer to get here than I wanted but It is a place I will be able to stay forever. No more 200's!!!!! After 5 months and 10 days I have lost 68 pounds and have 75 more to go. I will post my 5 month pictures soon. Oh this is marvelous!!!!!!

My starting BMI was 46 and is now 35. I am only 2 pounds away from onderland and am so excited just to hit that goal. I can't imagine a normal BMI of 24 or so.

I am going on bra and panty spree this week I hope. I know this is crazy because I am still 90 lbs for goal. However at 5 feet 4 inches I weighed 267 pounds on surgery day. My bra was a 46 H cup. I have brought out the old bras of a 42 DDD and they are a little big so I am going to go get measured so I know what to get. I don't miss my girls but my husband is thinking they are getting a little small. He is very supportive but he is a boob man after all!!!! I am with you girls I will get new boobs when I reach goal!!!!

I started walking the hospital halls 3 hours after surgery. I am a physical rehab nurse so I can tell you that the earlier you move after surgery the faster your recovery. I had surgery on Friday and dischagred Sunday morning had my check up on Monday at Dr. Office and he said I could go back to work untill he heard I had a 50 pound weight minimum I had to lift. He said if there was no lifting over 25 pounds I could go back. I ended up going back to work at 4.5 weeks and working 12 hour shifts was hard. I don't know if it was because of surgery or if I was just not used to it because of the time I had off. My husband did not recover as quickly. He was light headed and dizzy for 2 weeks. It took him forevery to get dressed and ready to go. Be carefull about doing to much to early!!! Follow what your doctor says and listen to what your body says.
