Finally made it to onederland
I was banded on the 30th of December, and have been doing well. This morning when I got on the scales I was shocked to find that I had slid underneath the 200# mark. I am now 197.7 I go for my first fill tomorrow, and my goal was to be at 200, hopefully when I get there the scales say the same as mine. Either way I am happy for today!
Congratulations Cheryl!
You must be so thrilled. Not only did you get beneath 200 pounds but you surpassed your goal.
Shortly after my surgery I took a trip to see my parents it's a 2 1/2 day drive so I wasn't able to weigh myself for a few days. The day after I arrived at my parents house I weighed myself and was stunned to see the scale read 198. As I walked out of the bathroom tears were uncontrollably streaming down my face. My mom asked me what was wrong and I asked her if her scale is accurate. She told me it reads the same as her doctors scale! How wonderful! So I told her I was on a strict diet and I was crying because I was happy that I was below 200 pounds.
Again I congratulate you Cheryl. I hope you find a non food way to reward yourself.
