Eight months and 80 pounds gone! I am soooo glad to say that I will never see those pounds again! I am now comfortably wearing a size 12 and sometimes a 10. I can honestly say that I have not been this size since 1990! Yes, I'm talking 23 YEARS!!!!
Praise be to God for this amazing surgery and transformation! Yes, I am still the same person I was, but I was sort of subdued. I feel like I am back to my real self - confident, outgoing, and happy!
The weight loss is still sporadic, so I guess that is how it's going to be. I go a week or more without losing anything, and then I drop 3-4 pounds. Oh well, that's OK with me as long as I am still losing. Some people have asked whether I am at my goal. The answer is no, I am not. At my doctor's viist last month, the doctor told me that I was 12 pounds from the total that they would attribute to the surgery, but that's not the total I could lose. Since that appointment, I have lost another 7 pounds, and my goal is to lose another 20. BUT.... I don't want to look too thin and gaunt, so I will be looking for input from all of you reading this!
Thank you all for your continued support!
