I AM -100 POUNDS!!!!
:eek:
(this includes 25 pounds lost 2 months before surgery.)
:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana
i am so EXCITED!!!! I LOVE my LAPBAND!!!
* i went from a size 30/32 pants to a having room in 20's!!! :speechles
* my BMI has gone from 51.9 Morbidly Obese to 36.9 severly obese (in 2 more bmi points i'll only be OBESE!!) :speechles
* i have lost 52% of my excess body weight (if you base it on a goal of 156 pounds) i guess those 'you can expect to lose 35% in 3-5 years' stats are crazy
!!!!!!!!
* i have the energy to do the things i had not been able to do... plant a garden, landscape yard, hiking on hills, swimming laps in the pool, going to outside festivals and not passing out!, run (no i am not a runner but sometimes i'll get the urge and i can actually run more than 10 feet!)
so i am 100 down and i am not sure how low i will go! before i always said i just wanted to get into 14's or be at 200 because i knew my health would drastically improve and that what i REALLY wanted out of surgery. BUT now i think reality is setting in. i will be in those 14's soon (!!!!) so i may actually get to a size 10 :nervous which i havent seen since the 6th grade!!!!!!
only time will tell where i end up weight wise but i am already reaping the benifits of my loss and if i never lost another pound :laugh i still would consider my surgery a raging success!
