As of Thursday, Feb 11th 2010, I was 1 year postop. I am now down about 107 pounds! The only regret I have is that I didn't do this YEARS ago. I wasted too many years being so unhappy. I feel amazing and I am so glad that I made this decision. I am only about 8 pounds from my original goal of 180 pounds. As I get closer to that though, I can see that I'm not going to be satisfied with that. My BMI doesn't fall into the normal range until 155. I didn't do this to still be considered overweight. I want to be at a healthy weight. So now that is my new goal....155. So that's about 33 more pounds. The weight is coming off much slower now but it's still coming off. Hopefully some time next year I will get to finish my journey with some plastics surgery. Think I'm gonna need an abdominalplasty and a breast lift. Oh and I'm running....ME running! Doesn't even sound right. I used to hate to run....now I'm doing it on purpose. I'm thinking about setting a goal to run in a 5K this summer.

Congrats! I wish I could say that I've lost that much, but I'm only down 60 pounds! I don't think I've hit the sweet spot yet and it's frustrating because it's my shere will power that stops me from over eating. I only have 6 cc's. I need a fill but can't get in until the 15th of September. UGH!
