It is now Memorial day 5/28/07!!! The first holiday of the summer and I am down a total of 66 lbs. I am now 9 weeks out (having lost 41 lbs since surgery) I have only 44 lbs to go to reach my goal weight. My weight is now 194 lbs (I started at 260 lbs) I have dropped 5 sizes!!! I am now wearing a size 14 in shorts and jeans and went from a 3X to a Large shirt. I feel GREAT and I think I look GREAT;-) The journery has been eventful in learning to eat a whole new different way. My eyes are still bigger than my stomach and each week I have a new learning experience. Something doesn't agree with me and Ooops it wants to come up. That is the hardest part of this surgery....getting used to eating small portions. I will try to post on July 4th to update on my success although my dr. told me that the smaller a person is the harder it is to lose. My weight loss has tapered down to about 2 lbs a week now. We will see!
