Initial Goal Reached!

My scale told me I am 135 lbs as of this morning. 

At my very first surgical consult, the doctor asked me what my goal for weight loss was.  Strangely I had not really thought about an actual number so I just blurted out 135 lbs because I didn't know what a realistic goal was for me.  He told me he felt I could achieve that with the sleeve.  Later I realized that 135 lbs still has me as overweight on the BMI charts, and that 120 lbs might be better.

Still I can't believe I'm at 135.  I've never been at that in my whole adult life.  I feel fabulous, shopping for clothes is pretty easy (except I'm a cheapskate), and I'm so comfortable in my own skin.

I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, and I almost want to proselytize WLS to the whole world.  Thanks for your support along the way.

Let's hope the last 15 go smoothly.

CONGRATS!It does feel good to hit that first goal

Hurray, hurray.  Here's to breezing past the first goal and conquering the rest. 

That is awesome Kim!! Congrats!!!

Congratulations on reaching your first goal!!!1      It is a wonderful feeling.

Sending good thoughts that the next 15 lbs go smoothly.

WLS has been a wonderful gift.

Good luck on Goal #2!

AMAZING!!!!   I'm so excited for you!!!  135 is a nice rounded number.  That's how I picked my 125 goal too, but I never dreamed I'd get down lower than that and you will too!!! 

Congrats!!!!!! I have 135 as mine, too and the NP at my surgeons office said shoot for 159. Nah.....i want 135!!!
