I am so excited that I just had to share!!! I am out of the 300s and into the 200s!!! I am 8 weeks post of, and know that I have a long way to go, but I am so proud of all that I have accomplished so far.

I go to see my surgeon tomorrow. I was wondering if I would get a fill, but I am staying satisfied for 4 hours after each meal. I feel like what I am doing now is working, so I don't want to mess with success. The doctor knows what is best, so I will follow his suggestions.

Thanks for letting me toot my own horn for a few minutes!!! You all are so inspirational to me and always make me feel like part of a community. I lurk more than post, but this board is truly one of the main reasons I am doing so well.

Yippee! What a milestone -- so happy for you.

Toot all you want! What a great job you are doing....feels awesome doesnt it! I agree with you about the fills. I have yet to have had one and often wonder if I should or shouldn't....as you said why mess with something when what you are doing is working!!!! So I say "no, thanks" at my monthly appts and leave a happy and contented girl.

I am 2, YES 2, pounds away from one-derland...and I can't wait to see that number on the scale!

Keep up the good work....this site is awesome with some AMAZING people on here!

Keep us posted!

Congratulations, you're rocking this!! Talk with your surgeon and listen to your own instincts. Last time I went in, I wanted a fill, he didn't want to, after discussing it he won and changed my mind... and I'm very glad he did. For the same reason, don't fix something that's not broke! Good luck in the rest of your journey! =D

Awesome! Congrats that is a wonderful accomplishment !

I, too, remember that feeling of excitement when the first digit read "2." Now, I'm looking forward to the first digit reading "1." It may be 5+ months from now, but I'm sure it will happen..... Congrats, and welcome to TWOTERVILLE!

You go girl! I'm trying to get out of twoderville and into onederland but for someone who hasn't been in twoderville in some time that is do extremely awesome! Congrats!! So exciting!!!!

Way to go!!!! Keep up the good work.
