But it did read 198.8! :-)

I completely skipped over 199. It almost seems anti-climatic. Lol. Very happy with my band. I've lost ~75 lbs in a lil less than 8 months. I have about that much more to lose since I'm short to reach a good BMI.

Good luck to you on your journey!

That's terrific Tara. It seems anti-climatic because you still have a ways to go. I'm in the same boat as you. I got to onederland back in mid June and while happy about it, felt the same way. OK, I made it but still have another 50 lbs. to go. I'm now down another 13 lbs. and have just purchased slacks in a size 16. I haven't been in a 16 in like forever and fitting into those slacks was a fabulous moment. So...the number is just that...a number. But it is a great milestone in your journey and one you should be so very proud of.

Anti-climatic? If I was you, I'd go out "shopping" and take a pair of pants & a shirt in the size you started off on and stand in front of that mirror in the fitting room and give yourself a fanfare, because what you've accomplished is FANTASTIC (I know you already know this, I'm just saying). Even if you have some old, big-size clothes, don't use THOSE, go to a store and say to yourself: "this is what I would be buying if I had not reach where I am today".... I bet that would be an reason for celebration!!

I think I just wanted to see 199 so bad I didn't know how to process 198. It just didn't make sense. Lol.

I did dig out some 16W and they fit. So I'm quit happy with the 198.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
