Went to the surgeons yesterday for my 9 month follow-up (technically its been over 10 months) and received 2 high-fives and a hug from my wonderful surgeon! He said that my BMI was finally in the 'healthy' range! 98 pounds lost so far and he could not be more pleased. 2 more pounds until Im in the 'century club'!

Things just kept getting better...went to Old Navy and bought a pair of super skinny jeans and took a photo of them side-by-side with my fat jeans that Ive saved for comparison. Wow.

All in all, it was a great Monday

Congrats on your success!! Way to go!

Awesome!!!

FABULOUS! Congrats!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats, I so appreciate hearing about people that their weight comes off slowly but it does come off. I lose slowly too, so you give me hope that I can lose all I need to even if it takes me a couple of years.

Yes TJL Im a slow loser for sure. I thought when I got past the 6 month mark that it would slow down even more and it actually picked up a little. Strange I know but Ill take it lol.

HOW IN THE FLIPITY FLOPITY IS 98 POUNDS IN 9 ( or 10 ) MONTHS SLOW?

Nicely worded lol. I think 'slow' is relative compared to the rate that others tend to lose. Its actually 98 pounds since I started my journey. I had to do a 3 month medically supervised diet prior to surgery. Post surgery Ive lost 78 in 9 (or 10) months. Sound better?

Still not slow! It all counts. That is a steady respectable weight loss.

You have done very well young lady!

My hubby held up my new pants and said 'did you ever imagine your pants would be so tiny?' then he ran upstairs and pulled out the big pair that he had stashed. He gets very excited for me lol.
