Congratulations!!! 100 lbs is amazing!!! Im sure everyone loses at different rates...dont let anyone get you down or make you feel discouraged. You should be so proud of yourself!!!

YOU LOST 100 POUNDS .....WHOOO HOOOOOOO GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!! AND AS FAR AS THE DOCTOR GOES ..##$#%^&**(*&^%$$##))(*&^^... THATS WHAT I GOTTA SAY TO HIM.............EBRACE YOUR VICTORY AND GO GET THAT DRESS ... I AM SOO PISSED HE MADE YOU FEEL THAT WAY AND WISH I COULD REALLY WRITE WHAT I WOULS LIKE TO SAY TO HIM....LOL... KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB AND MAY I BE IN YOUR SHOES ONE DAY ... I AM 3 WEEKS POST OP AND YOU MY FRIEND ARE AN INSPIRATION....

First, CONGRATULATIONS. 100 pounds is life changing. Secondly, doctors have terrible bed-side manners. Please, please, please do not spend too much time pondering his words. You have done an outstanding job. Plus, 15 pounds compared to 100...drop in the bucket. Great job for contacting your accountability partner. And, consider switching doctors. :-)

Agree.. don't listen to your doctor... besides 15 lbs off schedual is not so bad in my book. You are doing amazing apparently!

You are so close, you can do it! I don't think there should be a schedule...if you are healthy and still losing then that should be the ultimate goal. Like you I was a victim of bullying and self harmed a lot in high school. I'm worried about how I will be after my surgery, emotionally, but I know I am strong and I can do this. Seeing that there are other people out there, like me, who are dealing (and have dealt) with the same circumstances gives me hope for my own future. Thank you for sharing!

It really can not hurt to find a behavior therapist to visit once in a while. Mostly everybody who goes through the process feels like you and I do! But- if you find a professional to talk to--- you will be very pleased.

Start taking pictures of yourself in the same outfit every month...then you can compare side to side...and you will see the differences for sure. 70lbs is a lot of weight! I do agree with Melissa also...if this continues seek help. Those thoughts can lead to depression and then to other things. I see a psychologist monthly (because I was a binge eater). I love going actually...good insight, someone to talk to etc. And it is always the case....where you see yourself every day so it is hard to see the changes...where as someone who might see you once a week...the changes are more prominent to them. But you have done awesome!!!

I know just what you mean! I'm going through the same thing. When I sit in my chair in my minds eye I'm still 285 pounds! When I look in the mirror I see a smaller, thinner me, but it still freaks me out to see the new me! I was at least a size 24 W for the passed 25 years, and was up to a 26/28 when I started to lose weight this passed April. I have lost 96 pounds so far counting the 50 pounds I lost the 6 months before my sleeve, and the 46 pounds I have lost in the 4 months since my sleeve. I'm only 6 pounds from my next goal of reaching 100 pounds off. Everyday I still think, when will the weight stop coming off? When will I start to gain again like I did after all the many times I lost in the passed?

what a COOL career you have!! I always thought highly of the people behind Sesame Street, but it's nice to hear that my gut-feeling was right. How wonderful for you! And, now you've got that positive momentum in your life, you can just keep getting better n better!
Congrats on your surgery and your success and all the wonderful things that have happened. I know you have a happy life ahead of you and continued success! I'm so excited for you

Inches matter!!! The scale doesn't measure inches!
