I am down to 172 and I am not obese anymore. I can't believe it. I had my 9 month appointment with Dr. Feng on Wednesday and I weighed in at 175, still obese. He was happy with my weight loss progress. He thinks I can make it to goal in 3 more months. I wish I had such confidence in myself. If I don't make it. I know I will be close. I think getting the VSG was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

I can't believe I am in the 180's. I just bought new clothes and they are already loose on me. I haven't been able to exercise this week because I am sick, but I lost more this week than I have so far. I haven't been able to eat as much either. I have lost around 63% of what I need to loose to be at a goal weight of 135. I really feel like I might make it.

I got Strep throat and it is difficult to swallow. I lost 3 more pounds and my BMI is at 33.6. I'm getting closer and closer.

I weighed this morning and the scale said 199.6. I haven't posted anything on the forum because I want to make sure I stay here. I guess I have made it to Onederland. I am 5 months out from my surgery. I was 279 when I went in for my consultation, and I lost about 15 of that before surgery, so I have made it in around 6 month. It still doesn't feel real.

I finally started loosing again. I added the stair master to my swimming and it seems to have jump started my weight loss. I'm down to 203. So close to Onederland. I think I might actually make my goal of being under 200 before I see Dr. Feng again in March. I don't know why, but loosing weight kind of scares me. The last time I was really thin and had a great body I was always getting hit on by old bald married men. When I was heavier, not morbidly obese, better looking guys hit on me. I don't know why I am worried, I'm happily married to a wonderful man. I'm going to start therapy soon, maybe she can solve this weird feeling I have about loosing weight. My skin just keeps hanging more and more too. Oh well, only 4 pounds to Onederland. I'm excited and scared.
