I can't believe that it has been 9 months already.  The time has gone by so fast!!!  The past month has probably been one of the hardest ones of my life with 2 family members passing away within weeks of each other.  I am so very thankful that I have had this gift of WLS during this time.  With everything that has gone on, I would have eaten myself into a food coma in the past and gained many pounds, but with this tool for once in my life I have had control over something while dealing with a devasting situation.  I thank God everyday for it.  

On to lighter things...I had my 9 month appointment with Dorothy yesterday and she was so encouraging letting me know how great I have done.  

In 9 months I have...

...lost 132.4 pounds
...gone from a BMI of 57.6 to 36
...lost 30 inches off my waist and hips...55 off my entire body
...gone from a 26/28 to a 16
....lost 65% of my excess body weight

I am pretty happy with that and need to read those over and over if I ever catch myself not being happy with it!! 

Here are some pics...
