Wow, your ticker tells me you have lost 40 pounds and Charitymarroquin was congratulating you on making it to onederland. How does it feel to be in the hundreds? I have a ways to go before I get there. I have about 17 more pounds to go before I drop below the 200 mark. I do feel alots better, I am at 216.8, and I have not been below the 220 mark for at least 20+ years. Back in July, I weighed almost 267, so I have now lost 50 pounds since then. People are starting to notice that I am really losing weight now. I have not been on the forum for quite some time, the computors have been giving us trouble. Maybe now I can get on here and let everyone know how I am doing. As soon as I got on here tonight, I went to your profile statistics to read your last post to see how you are doing. I noticed your ticker and I am so happy you lost more than what your goal was for Christmas. I hope you are doing ok! I want to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!!

Thank you for your comments.

Hello Lakiesassie,

I wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You have really came a long way since your surgery. I enjoyed looking at your photos and I am happy to see that you have lost over 100 pounds.

Hello I posted you a reply on your thread about your 3rd day on the pre-op diet. I hope it will help you. Just hang in there, don't give up. Just start doing better where you are right now, don't worry about failing or messing up in the past. Keep moving forward.

Hello charitymarroquin,

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Congratualations on your 40 pounds lost!! Wow and that is only since Oct. 13. I have not been on the forum for quite some time, because we are having some trouble with our internet services and I have been so busy. I am hoping to get back on here more often now. I sure have missed chatting with everyone.

Hello TennJenn,

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! You are really doing so good. Wow, almost 57 pounds lost and you are almost to your goal. I had the sleeve done on Dec.2 and have not regretted it at all. I have lost 16 pounds since the day before surgery. I started my weigh-ins in Feb. of this year at 257, then my weight went up to 266 in July. I was so happy today, because since July I have lost 50 pounds total. (26 pounds before pre-op, 8 pounds lost on pre-op diet and 16 pounds post-op) I hope you post some pictures soon to let us know how you are changing since all that weight lost. Have a good day!!

I was glad to read your story. I hope you have a smooth journey. I had alot of setbacks, but I have kept up the fight and finally I am approved for the sleeve. My surgery is Dec. 2.

I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. my story is posted in "Waiting! Getting closer to having my vsg surgery."

congratulations!! I bet your husband is very happy for you also. You look like a very happy couple and I hope that this will only make you happier.

Hello Joann,

You are so welcome!! I hope you will post something soon, as to how these last few days are going for you since your surgery on the 17th. I wish you all the best.
