I am now 5 months out from surgery. I have lost a total of 110 pounds since starting the 90 day diet and exercise routine in May of 2007. I lost 40 pounds prior to surgery. So I have lost about 70 pounds since surgery. I am feeling great! I saw and old friend of mine today at a new church we are attending and she did not recognize me. I have not seen her in 4 years. She was thrilled to see me looking so good! Her reaction was really funny! I enjoyed telling her about my surgery and the progress I have made. I liked going shopping before, but now I love it because I can shop for clothes and not just stuff for my home. I am proud to say that I am down to 226 pounds. My next personal goal is just 26 pounds away. My overall goal is about 80 pounds away. I like to set small goals and reward myself with things like manicures, pedicure, or a massage. I think I am going through a mid-life crisis. I am looking at sports cars! Ha ha. I got my glasses off my face and started wearing contacts again to make myself look even better. I am loving this tool.
