Re: Re: Question about percentage of weight lost

[Guest guest]

,

I would do this surgery over and over again without hesitation if that was

necessary in order to get to where I am today. Its the best thing I have

ever done for myself and life is so much better as your weight comes off and

you get more energy to do the things you havent been able to do in so long.

Even buying new clothes now is a real thrill!

Even though I have 18 more lbs to go, 8 of that will come off with the TT so

the other 10 lbs will be totally me but Dr Welker said he was confident that

with another year in my window it WILL come off. Im not concerned about it

becuz Im now in size 12 (can get into a 10 but its tight) comfortably even

at 158 lbs whereas when I was 20 I weighed 125 to fit into size 12!

Amazing!!!

Just remember hon, that after surgery its rough for awhile but once you get

over that rough spot, things get alot better and before you know it, you are

eating normally of all the foods you much loved prior to surgery without

having to worry about regain. For the first time in your life you will not

have to count calories! nor fat grams! Nor DIET! You will begin to

LIVE-IT!! Some of your tastes will change for the better (like for me,

apple juice is just too sweet so I have to dilute it and I no longer like

ice cream!)

Remember, when you feel nervous, Im there holding your hand!

I weight 174, but if I never lost another pound I would still be

happy with what I have now.

Thats a great attitude, Teri! I feel the same way......Id love to lose

another 10 lbs over the 15 I have left to go but if I dont , thats

ok.....heck, where we are now is so much better than where we were just a

few months ago!
