Wow! How time flies by! I havent been on since April and thought that maybe i should update on my amazing adventure. I am now 15 months post op and have a brand new outlook on life. I started this journey at 375 lbs. I am 6'1 and have always been a "big" girl. I am now down to 200 lbs. Although my scale has not budged in 2 months i am very pleased with my progress. I have 20 lbs to go to reach my goal...and boy has it been a challenge. For those of you that are struggling to make the decision to have or not to have this surgery......my advice to you is GO FOR IT! It will change your life in a million ways.

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op & I feel fabulous!I am down to 326 and my clothes just hang on me! I have been walking 3 miles a day and drinking a lot of water, which leaves me feeling really full! I manage to get all my meals in though. I have to say that I do miss eating! It is a weird feeling but I would almost call it mourning for the loss of food! Dont get me wrong i would do this all over again in a heartbeat, but it is tough at times. It is difficult because food was such a huge part of our life and now its not! Just a big change & im sure in time that will all pass! Cant wait to be under 300 lbs....its only been like 5 years so im way excited!!
