I think it's agreed then.., we all feel better, enjoy better health now and look better than before? I declare us all at GOAL!!!! I'll bring the sleevers rendition of the "juice boxes"

I drink those shakes whenever I am on the go. I really like the vanilla shake a lot.

Don't know how I missed this - congrats butter you look great!

My sugeon said that once you are under about 28 BMI, you have gained pretty much the health benefits associated with losing weight. Again, everybody is different, he is just saying that from a health perspective, no need to fixate on moving to the normal catagory.

I would also be careful about bodyfat percentage. For our age range, I believe 25-30% is considered normal. Well, I think I am pretty muscular, I have visible muscles on back, shoulders and legs - but the home bathroom scale says my body fat is 28-29%. I would like to improve from where I am but i can't see that this info is accurate.

I think that the right goal weight is some balancing act between health/looks/maintainability. That combo is different for each of us. Not everybody looks better just because they are thinner thats for sure. .

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
