Hi Dana: I have checked your profile.... WoW, what a journey you have had..... You look such beautiful at the races..... No words can describe the feeling of happynes I want to express to see at your pictures. Congratulations.... Alex

How much have you lost? *91 pounds since WLS What was your highest weight? *305 What is you BMI as today? *31.11 What was your highest BMI? *46.07 What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now? *16/18 tops and 18 bottoms Are you happy with your loss so far???? *Yes and no...I'm struggling with this issue this week Why??? *I am so proud of 91 pounds...that's a whole 11-12 year child...but I really wanted to be below 200 pound or at 100 pounds lost on my 6 month anniversary. I'm beating myself something fierce about it this week...I'll get over it...just having a self-pity party for a few days... Jen

Hi Jen!!! Well I think that you have accomplished a great journey. I am at 98 pounds lost and I am already six months old.... What it really motivates me is to check out advances. No the speedy, no the amount of loosing. I recomend that all the people that have great expectations about WLS take it easy. They will get there. It's like asking God: "Please God I need patience, But I want it now!!!!". We have to work hard to get our goals and get wisdom about how to manage our success. Some times we are being VERY SUCCESSFUL and not looking at it but looking at what we haven't done yet. I honestly wish that you will get those 100 pounds off you very soon. I have seen your profile and your picture from July 9th is awesome..... You really are in my humble opinion a successfull WLS person. Alex

Hey Alex! Great to hear from you! Have missed seeing your posts! How much have you lost? 93 since higest and 77 What was your highest weight? 260 What is you BMI as today? 29.4 What was your highest BMI?45.0 What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now?size 12 jeans Are you happy with your loss so far???? Yes, I can do so much more! Why??? I no longer have to be on meds. I am in better physical condition than ever and I can run over a mile now!! Suzette

My Goodness Suzette!!!! You are no longer obese!!!! I checked your before and after pictures and the difference is abyssmal. You look wonderful..... and I am sure feeling wonderful too. Alex

Hi Alex, we have missed you around here! How much have you lost? 125pounds What was your highest weight? 316 What is you BMI as today? 34.9(obese) What was your highest BMI? 57.7(super morbid obese) What is the smallest size of clothes you are wearing right now? 14 pants, 12/14 or L shirt(some of my shirts are still xl) Are you happy with your loss so far???? most days I am, but other days I am still disgusted with my big fat belly. I totally love the way I feel, and I guess that is what's most important. I do not get tired easily, or as hot and sweaty as I used to, and the summer has been enjoyable this year rather than torturous. I have more self confidence as well, although not as much as I should. All in all, like everyone else, I want to keep going, but so far so good! Why???on the days i am happy it is because I know I look and feel 100% better than I did last year, but on the days i dont feel so good it is because the mental part doesnt quite catch up as fast, that makes it hard to not look in the mirror and think "gross".
