Well, I've been saying I've lost "about" 100 lbs for a while now, because at ~95 lbs, that's true. But today, I tipped the scale at 229.8, which means that I've lost just OVER 100 lbs since my surgery last May. Huzzah! Plus, it's nice to be in another weight bracket -- the 220's -- again.

And I'm really enjoying clothes that fit (and some attention from the ladies!) All good things. It's going to be a FUN summer!

I should add that my next goal is 226.8. Since I'm averaging about a pound a week at this point, that means that right around early-mid May (almost exactly a year out from surgery), I should achieve the goal of moving from morbidly obese, to obese, to just "overweight" -- according to the BMI charts. Of course, with a BMI of 29.9, that's pushing it, but it still qualifies! Since I'm extremely heavily built (no really, that's not just a euphemism like "big boned" -- genetically, I'm built somewhat like a tank), I doubt that a "normal" BMI weight of 185 lbs is EVER going to happen (I would seriously have to look and be anorexic), but I'll be content with just being "a little overweight." That's good company!

Now I just need to get back into my exercise routine and start packing on some muscle for summer!

Congratulations! I, too, reached my 100 pounds lost mark yesterday after being stuck at 98 for a LONG time. It's an amazing feeling, and it has definitely strengthened my resolve to keep up with my program.

I'm just looking forward to getting on a scale, and not seeing the number 2 on it for the first time since high school...

Best of luck for continued success. Enjoy those new clothes!

Congratulations to you, too. And yes, it IS a great feeling. I know that substantively, there's nothing really different between 95 lbs and 100 lbs, but sometimes that extra digit makes all the psychological difference in the world!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
