Hi Christy, Welcome and congratulations on your weight loss. I read your other post about your surgeon saying you would only lose so much weight. I know there is this "window of opportunity" that we have with our surgery in which we will lose the majority of our weight, but for me, I know in my heart that if I am determined and committed enough, I can lose as much weight as I want. It might get more difficult and take longer after that so-called window closes, but I believe (not based on anything but my personal feelings) it is possible to reach any realistic goal we set for ourselves. Surgeons sometimes say things to help us be realistic in our expectations, but don't let that stop you from trying. My surgeon always tells me the facts to the best of his knowledge and then he will say, "but you can always prove me wrong". Keep up the good work! Take Care, Tanja
