Congratulations on your good health. I am also thrilled to have good cholesterol and normal blood pressure (that was a big one for me). My blood sugar is actually low all the time, I am possibly falling into the land of reactive hypoglycemia, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. I agree about everything you said, and thank you.

You're doing great. I think we all probably wish we didn't wait as long as we did to do this surgery. but the important thing is, you did and now you are well on your way to a healthier you. I look at pictures of me at my high of 355 and I go wow, I don't even remember being that big. Amazing how our mind makes us think we are smaller than we were.

Trust me, I feel your pain. I od'ed (if you will) on too much cheese, not chewing it up well. Oh, my goodness, I thought I was going to die! Sure will not do that again lol.

Start: 282 Last week: 145 Today: 143 Two pounds this week...better than nuthin I guess!

Pre-surg wt: 290.6 today's wt: 195.2 total loss: 95.4 Wt. still to lose: 50.2 Loss for this week: 4.0 - Yipee!!!! I'm pretty darn happy. I see my surgeon at the end of this month and I am just hoping that I can hit that magical loss of 100# before then. But even if I don't, I'm still happy with the weight I've lost so far and being almost 2/3 of the way to my goal is hard to believe. We built a deck this weekend and I was able to sit cross legged and help. It is amazing to me the little things that I can do again - like paint my toe nails!!! Oh, the little things that make me happy nowadays.... LOL. Have a great week everyone!
