Today officially marks 100 pounds lost. I should be jumping for joy. I waited for this day. I was so excited for it. I've spent the last four days at the hospital with one of my best friends while her father was dying. She is young, only 25. I'm more like her stepmother. She lived with my husband and myself for the last year. It just kills me to see her going through this pain. They had to remove him from life support. I'm just so drained and so sad that I just can't celebrate this loss. :/

Congratulations on hitting a huge milestone!! So sorry to hear about your and your friends loss. I will pray for you both.

Congratulations and so sorry to hear about your friend's loss. But you'll be celebrating your success every day for the rest of your life!

So very sorry to hear about ur friends dad. But at the same time, don't cheat yourself of a HUGE milestone! You have accomplished something very tough and deserve to shine in your moment also! Congrats on the weight loss!

That's a tough one. I would postpone iit a short time a then celebrate. What were you going to do?

Thank you all. It's been a tough week for myself and friend. Her father passed away the same way my brother did, by taking them off life support. So many old feelings started coming up. I spent so many days in the hospital that the only safe thing to eat was really protein shakes. Trying to work myself back onto food after a week of straight shakes.

On a good note.... I'm very proud of ya for staying with the safe shakes!!! It's so easy to lose this diet when tradgidy strikes!

Can you visualize 100#'s as 400 sticks of butter? You must be so proud of all you have done in taking care of yourself... In turn .. Making it possible to be there for your friend in her difficult time ! CONGRATULATIONS... Your a WLS Hero!
