Wow, I'm in Onederland!
Well, it's been over 10 years, but here I am. Under 200 lbs. 70 lbs down since Opti in mid-June. 13 inches off my waist, 11 off my hips, 2 1/2 from my neck. No more plus sizes, a whole shoe size down. Bloody hell, when I write it all down it seems unreal.
On the other hand, I am shedding worse than my cat! There is red hair everywhere. I'm also still dealing with my stricture. Hopefully the 2nd treatment will do the trick. The dietician in Sudbury was great & showed me ways to increase my nutrients even though I'm still on liquids. I'm feeling so much better, but I'm looking forward to phasing food back in. Nevertheless, I'm going to enjoy this "onederful" day!
