Keep looking at the Positive!

I posted this on the monthly update on my surgery board.  Thought I would put it here as well so I would have it to look back on someday.
****************************************************************************************************************************
I myself will be 5 months out on February 10.  I am thankful every day for my decision to have WLS and ever more thankful that it resulted in the VSG after a long journey to get there! 

The first few months were rough for me because I had Thrush and nauseau and some regular vomiting, which I attribute to the Thrush.  After the Thrush was gone and I figured out what would work and what wouldnt work food wise, things seriously improved for me!

As of this morning, I am down 102 pounds from my highest weight pre-surgery.  I lost 15 of those pounds during my 2 week pre-op diet.  Here is an overview of how I have done each month:

2 week pre-op diet: -15
09/10/08-10/01/8: -29
October: -21
November: -15
December: -11
January: -10
February (so far): -1

My ultimate goal is to be at 160, but my first major goal is 200 and I have 45 pounds to go!  I am over 2/3's of the way there!  I would be happy to be at 180 by 1 year out!
