Goal!

[bookwrmmom]

So today after 21 months I have finally met my personal goal of 140lbs. Now I have to say that for the better part of the past year I haven't really tried to lose those last few pounds. I had already met my surgeons goal at the time of my one year checkup of 147lbs, and was maintaining around 144-145. Over the holidays I even went up to 148-149.
However one month ago my life took a change I wasn't prepared for and as a result I have dropped between 8-9 pounds. I just couldn't eat sometimes due to emotions. I have been trying to drink protein shakes even when I couldn't eat. Still not doing good some days eating and other days I do okay. I do not recommend this for anyone, but I guess I will say that from the days that I was on primarily liquids I now know the pouch test works well.
So I guess for a while I was very comfortable at 144-145 and was curious about getting to my personal goal, but I didn't have a real burning desire to do so. I still really don't, but do have a bit of satisfaction from doing so.

While I'm sorry for the reasons you dropped the last 9 pounds, I'm very happy that you hit your goal. Congratulations!

Nice to see you here, haven't seen you for a while. Hope the issue in your life improves. I am having some issue with intestines and it affects my eating too, tests are happening and new drug for acid. This is new problem and nothing to do with the sleeve. Take care and congrats on hitting that 140.

Congratulations! You may not have arrived at your goal in the manner that you anticipated, but you're an inspiration anyway.

Well, a goal has been reached. Perhaps a silver lining on that dark cloud of emotion.
