I am just over four months post-op and down a total of 80 lbs. ( 33pre-op).  I am feeling sooo great!  Had to down size the wardrobe a few times, but hey shopping is fun.  It is still really hard to get used to the many comments made daily by co-workers and those that haven't seen me in several months.  The attention is nice, but it makes me feel very self conscience.  this really was the best decission I have ever made.  Not only for me, but also for my family.  We have changed so much about what we eat.  I pray that my decission to completly change my lifestyle has so affected my 3 kiddos that they never have to consider WLS.

That is amazing! I am about the same size as your starting weight. I hope I can do as well as you when I have my surgery in December.  Congrats!

We must have had our surgeries about the same time.  80 pounds is HUGE!  Congrats to you!  I haven't been on the site in a while - but love coming back and hearing stories like this!  Reminds me of what a great decision WLS was for me!  Congrats again!
