Under Goal Weight...

 and loving it!!  My surgeon's goal for me was 161 and I am at 157.4 lbs.  I am a comfortable size 8 or 10 or Med/Lg. in my clothing...I'm still 5'7" (haven't shrunk and I'm 66 yrs. old (ha ha)  It's a long time since I posted anything.  We had our daughter from Boise here for a few weeks and then took her back to her home there.  Wonderful visit.  She is a sharp dresser   and beautiful of course (tee hee) and she gave me some of her "classy" clothes that she was tired of. Then on Saturday my hubby and I drove to a larger town close to here and I made a "haul" at a wonderful consignment shop and bought some really "snazzy" and nice clothing for fall/winter.  Oh, so much fun!!  I have been feeling great except for some sinus and/or allergy crap but it's that time of the year for such things I guess.  I have been reading all your posts and decided I'd better "check" in.  I see we have a few newbies and I want to wish all of them good luck and Congratulations!  I think my life has settled down a bit now after a whirl wind of company and activities this summer so hope I can post more often.  Best wishes to all of you long time OFF family and welcome to the new ones also.

Hugs all around,

Sandy

hi sandy

Hi Miss Jacki....How are you  doing?  It's good to be back on OFF again.  Life is good.
Thanks for replying, friend.

Sandy

Hi Sandy,
I bet you are just thrilled, congradulations and have fun shopping and buying really cute things.
Hugs GAil

Hi "Pretty Lady"....It's been a while since I've "seen" you. How are you doing gal?  Yes, it is such fun shopping and knowing you can fit into almost anything you find .  Of course, it can get expensive too but I try to find all the sales and consignment shops.  The one I go to is just so clean and  once you walk into this store you think it is a regular clothing store....many name brand clothing but for a fraction of the cost of new ones.  I have plenty of summer things now but have to buy all new fall/winter things.  Glad to see you again Gail.

Bunches of Hugs,
Sandy

I am doing really well Sandy, thanks for asking. I to have been buying clothes I wish we had a good consignment shop here. Can't wait to buy my new winter coat.
Hugs Gail

Congratulations, Sandy!
I know you are delighted to be under goal and to have all the great clothes.
My primary objective for having WLS was my health (I guess that covers most of us, huh?), but now that those issues are resolving, I may become a clothes addict. (Is there such a thing?) I've still got a ways to go for your tiny sizes, but I just donated bags of my "fat clothes" and am having a blast prowling thrift and consignment shops looking for transitional clothes.
Hope your sinus/allergy mess clears soon. I'm fortunate not to have those issues, but my hubby suffers enough for both of us.

Hi Natalie.....How are you, lady?  Yes, my first objective for this WLS was the health issues (and they have improved 150 %) but it is also so nice to be able to dress nice and look good too.
You will get there too my dear. Wasn't it fun getting rid of the "fat" clothes?   I never dreamt I would be a size 8 or 10. 
 I am 9 months out now and having the time of my life.
Keep up the good work dear Natalie.

Hugs to you,
Sandy

Sandy....WOOOOHOOOOOO...Congratulations!!!!!

I am just so happy for you. Many more WOWs to come....hang on tight!!!

Hugs and love.....connie d

Hi there Miss Connie d.....How the heck are you?  I read that you were in sort of a "funk".  Now, we can't have that!!  You have gone through alot girlfriend  but you always sound so cheerful and are always encouraging others and trying to cheer others up.  You are a very special lady and deserve the best.
You hang in there girl and I know you will be all right.
Lotza Love and big hugs,

Sandy
