Congratulations.  I am three weeks out. 

I had to have my rings cut off in 2005.  I have chronic pain, and I was on a medication that made my hands swell and get puffy... and in addition I consoled myself with food (I didn't have very good coping skills for pain back then)... so... I had to have the rings cut off.

I got myself a diamonique set from QVC.... in the biggest size...  and also outgrew that.  Now I am able to get my fake ring on.  When I hit goal I will have my real rings redone. 

My husband wears his ring faithfully.  I have felt bad all this time not wearing one.  It's good to wear something again.

I have not complained that I wasn't losing fast enough or as much as so & so, because I made a promise to myself that if I had WLS, I wouldn't do that. That my body is unique and individual and comparing would only drive me bonkers.

I love this. We need to not compare ourselves to how others are doing because we are all unique. Good for you on your progress, your doing great!
