I just looked at my ticker a little while ago and realized that as of today I am NORMAL!! (I'm sure my family may disagree lol) My BMI is NORMAL. I'm not even a teeny bit overweight - at least according to the charts.

Nine more pounds and I will be looking pretty darned good and thirty more and I'll be back to being 22 yrs. old again. Well, 22 with wrinkles.

WOOO HOOOO!!!

Good for you Rosebud!! Good for you!!

Great job on rockin' the sleeve!! Keep up the good work!! Am Happy for you!!

Hope I can be "normal" one day toooooooooooo!!:party4:

Congrats ! ! ! What a wonderful accomplishment.

Rosebud, what a wonderful six months you've had. Congratulations on wearing your success!

Wow Rosebud!!! You have done fantastic! You are a funny person too. lol

CONGRATULATIONS! You must be so proud of yourself and excited...good job working your tool!

I am so happy for you Rosebud, when I saw you in Mx you looked so good and I would never have thought you were ever heavy! Your surg was 6 months ago? Wow!

Yay, Rosebud!! I am so excited for you!!!!

Itstime how are you feeling? Sis is still a bit rocky.

I'm so excited. Today I was trying to find a little jacket in my closet to go with my jeans. I figured they 'grew up' with me (stretched as I stretched) so they could probably 'grow down' with me too. Um, wrong! Every one I tried on made me feel like a kid trying on Mommy's clothes. :-) So now I have to go around nearly naked because I have so few clothes that fit right now but I don't want to buy more because I'm on the verge of dropping another size.

I have to clean out my closet. It is huge and stuffed full but nothing to wear. Some of the stuff still have tags on them because I always bought at year-end sales for the next year. I am going to have to learn how to sell on ebay.

AWESOME Rosebud2 -- can't wait to see you again - hopefully sometime in January -- but definitely February ok?

good for you rosebud!

I too cannot wait for the problem: closet full of nothing fits.

I do have quite a bit of that now at 2 months post. (-40)

I did have to go get some pants, as I was walking out of my pants. Hubby insisted! LOL

congrats to you for being NORMAL !!!

January is already nuts, but definitely February. We'll need to set a date soon. I haven't seen postings by Ms. Yates. How is she doing?

Rosebud,

I am doing so well, still on full liquids but lots of creamed soups and they help keep my energy up. I try so hard to get in the protein and water. What's up with your sister? Is it her meds? I am so sorry she's not feeling well. Hope that everything evens out and she starts feeling good again. I love my sleeve.

She tends to take longer to heal. She has lupus. It is in remission but maybe that has something to do with it.
