Girl, you are AMAZING! You look AMAZING, and I have been watching your progress for several months now.  You should be SO PROUD of yourself! Today I am 7 weeks out, and I'm so excited for this roller coaster to move faster!  I FEEL YOU.....I've only lost 50lbs (since I started my Pre-op diet March 1....and had surgery May 31)....but I STILL am terrified that I'll regain or that I will be dissatisfied with my results. 

I think you can do anything you put your mind to.  Don't let others pressure you about your journey...but also make sure you stay healthy.  If you want to lose more weight, I'm sure you can lose more weight.  You may not have the malabsorption like you did at the beginning, but I'm confident that you can get where you want to be with some hard work.  I know someone (friend of a friend) who lost too much (got some transfer addictions, and got addicted to pills).....she looks sick, and unhealthy......  As long as you are realistic in your goals, and within a normal range (don't get underweight!)....GO FOR IT!  

P.S. Did I mention yet how BEAUTIFUL you look?! You should be SO PROUD OF YOURSELF! I am at my desk at work and when I opened your post, I got teary eyed.  You just look SO HAPPY! Such an inspiration.  I hope I'm as successful as you!

 If I may, I suggest wherever you want to be, go under the goal by 10 lbs or more.   I didn't do that and when bouncebac****urred it devastated me.  Give yourself leeway and you won't regret it    Dawn
