My buddy Carolina Dreamz shares a victory:

I mean, I’ll never forget not being able to move and living in my bed..

Its been 5 years, today, since my WLS.  I’ve lost 152 pounds.  Exactly.

I still feel over 300 pounds in my head.  I still buy clothes that are too big.

I still have health problems.

But I’m alive and I can get out of bed every day!

Most
would not consider 192 any type of success in weight standards. But, I
decided, last month, to be less hard on myself. I can be perfectly okay
at this weight. I’m still steadily losing. Yes, its slow. But I’m not
gaining and that is all I can focus on. (Oh, and I’ve lost 5 pounds
since I made that decision!)

I consider that to be completely awesome! And girl, you look good- I would have never imagined that you had gone through all that! Go over to see before and after pictures and give her your congratulations!
