Today is so bittersweet to me! I reached my initial goal of 150.0 lbs (I was 217.1 surgery day) today! I am thrilled beyond words, but I'm scared too. This is the lowest weight I have been my entire adult life! I have dropped weight a couple times before (the lowest being 155.0 lbs), but always gained back and then some. I want to maintain my weightloss! I also however, am scared of losing too much weight! I was revised (band-to-sleeve 6/15/12) and I honestly feel like all I do is eat! Not a lot each time, but still! Plus I don't exercise (I know this is terrible, but its the truth). I really don't want to get below 140ish...

Wow first off I want to congratulate you on your accomplishment. It must feel amazing to be at this goal. I have not reached mine yet, but the small goals that I have met have felt incredible. It has been years since I have been so successful(I am a band to sleeve too). Just take a deep breath and relish in this moment. Go try on all those small clothes, take your measurements, enjoy how far you have come!! You will and are maintaining this weight do not worry you are a success!!!!

YAAAAAAAAY YOU! Congratulations on reaching your goal--right on the nose, too! I agree that you should first take some time to bask in the glow of what you've accomplished. I've also heard that some people do lose more than they'd initially planned, but that at some point, their weight will "bounce" back up to closer to their goal. I can't speak on it personally since I haven't reached my goal yet, but I'm sure others will chime in...

Omg so inspiring! I am having revision band to sleeve on dec 10th, nervous and excited all at once! I've gain back another 40lbs since April with band complications. I can't wait to get it off and then some! :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
