Well today I am 40 lbs lighter! Of course I wish it could be more. But, I wasn't a heavy weight...so I guess I will go slow and easy. I feel healthier, happier and sexier. I'm still feeling my way thru this...and it has been a experience. Trying new foods, getting in all your protein and water, fighting head hunger. The good thing is even if you do give in every once in a while you can only eat a little bit! My clothes are getting looser and I am buying size 14 instead of 16 & 18's. The great thing is I have hope that I will lose more and keep it off, which I could never do before. I wish everyone the best of luck and will check back in a few weeks.

It will be six weeks and I have lost 27.5 lbs. It amazes me what a wonderful journey I have started. I feel great and have so much energy already. I went back to work after 5 weeks and it really hasn't fazed me. I am truly blessed. I would recommend this surgery to anyone, especially if you are able to have Dr. Coirin as your surgeon. I went in with great expectations and wonderful thoughts that this was going to be a positive event in my life. Let me tell you it has worked so far!

It has been a little over 2 weeks and I am doing fantastic. I'm so thankful for Dr. Coirin and his staff, I almost feel like I didn't even have surgery. I have already lost 15 lbs and am able to eat little portions of healthy and tasteful food. Don't get me wrong the first week was a little tough...I won't be looking at broth or jello for awhile, ha-ha. Hopefully I will continue to lose and stay healthy!
