Well it has been 6 months and 90 pounds as of my weigh-in this morning. New pictures posted in my profile. Cannot get a picture to post in this window. I am so thankful for all the support available here. Pre-op I read everything everyone posted for months before my surgery. I felt really prepared when it FINALLY was my time because of all the great questions and answers.

If you are pre-op, you will be amazed at how quickly it will be your turn too. Even if it seems like it is taking forever. 

I used the waiting time to prepare myself for the changes I knew I need to make. 

Was sick to my stomach once since surgery. Lost hair starting at 4 months but it seems to have slowed down now. 

Feeling great.

Karen

Karen, That is amazing progress? I've just eaten my last snack with a cup of tea. Tomorrow morning I start optifast.  I'm nervous but excited! 

Your story makes it all the more exciting.

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing
