Hey Im here!!!! I have been supper bussy but will be on the board most of tomorow. Ive got lots of stuffs to tel;, Im even gunna post pics. Elsa

I would like to be able to post in the morning, but with the restaurant that is not possible, so here I am checking in at almost bed time. 1~ What is your goal weight and is it different than your Dr's goal for you? My surgeon has never set a goal. My personal goal is no higher than 150. I am 5'9". So I should be able to handle 150. Truth be told I would love to get down to about 120, but that is probably hopeing for the impossible. 2~At 6 months post op, Are you happy with what you see in the mirror? I am at 170 right now and most of the time I am happy with what is looking back at me from the mirror, but sometimes all I can see is the spare tire around my middle and then I'm not happy. But for the most part, yes. 3~Do you have any weekend plans? Oh do I have plans! Just not really fun ones. I have to take two doors to the lumber yard to be cut down. They are 1and3/4 inch solid core, or I could cut them down myself. I want to work at the restaurant on Saturday afternoon, so that there might be time on Sunday to play. Don't really get a whole lot of play time right now. Hazel

1~ What is your goal weight and is it different than your Dr's goal for you? My goal is 135 (I am 5-5). If I stalled at 145, I would be happy. I never asked my Dr. what his goal was. 2~At 6 months post op, Are you happy with what you see in the mirror? I am thrilled. I am in a size 10. I looked pretty scary naked, but am planning on plastic surgery. I figure at 50 yrs old, there is no way I will be bouncing back so good. I am not working out like I need to be, my bad. 3~Do you have any weekend plans? cooking for a singles dinner on Saturday night at church Volunteering at the hospital on Sunday. God bless your journey, J.Marie

1~ What is your goal weight and is it different than your Dr's goal for you? I never asked the doc what my goal weight should be. I am thinking 160. 2~At 6 months post op, Are you happy with what you see in the mirror? I am so glad I did it! Like others have said I still see the old me and the areas that need help but overall i am very happy! 3~Do you have any weekend plans? Congrats on your anniversary Kay!

Well as far as my weekend, I have to work at the bank tomorrow and its supposed to be over 100 degrees here so I am sure things in the air! Sue

Hi Kay! Sorry I am a day late, but I am catching up so here are my answers! 1~ What is your goal weight and is it different than your Dr's goal for you? my personal goal weight is 135 simply because that was the last weight I remember being and feeling good about myself, and that was 13 years ago. My doctor hasn't actually "set" a goal weight, but says we are expected to lose 60-80% of our excess weight, which puts me between 192.4-151.2 pounds. I have already lost 59% and it has not been a full 6 months for me yet! 2~At 6 months post op, Are you happy with what you see in the mirror? I am happy most days, but I still want more! I want to be out of plus size clothes, and I want to weigh less than my sisters, I still have another 20 pounds to go to be the smallest of four girls. 3~Do you have any weekend plans? this weekend, no. However, I never sit around on the weekends anymore, I am far too antsy Kay have a wonderful anniversary, sounds so nice! Karyn
