Hey guys, I am down 110 lbs! I feel great and am very happy with my decision to have the surgery. One of the things I've wanted to do all my life is take horseback riding lessons. As some of you might know, there are weight restrictions for taking lessons. Usually you have to weigh less than 200 lbs. So, for most of my life i was never able to do it. Now at 190, I just took my first lesson!!!!! So, my question to all of you is... What have you done that you were never able to do before now that you've lost weight? All the best, Charity 300/190/150

Congrats to you guys!!! Seems I am in this "flow" as well, -145 lbs and I am 10 months out as of the 19th. This surgery is AMAZING because it has given me the desire and motivation to get healthier day by day! Celeste

WOW This is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do NOt buy too many of one size. I have had to give away so many clothes that i bought thinking i would be in them and they were too big in a few weeks. I too buy at thrift stores and resale stores now. I have found some nice bargains. I am amazed that our feet have changed sizes also. Fat feet wouldn't go into the shoes i reckon. Now the feet go into smaller sizes. It is so much fun being called skinny butt........ I just look at them and laugh. I cannot imagine every being called skinny. in 12's now and started at 28-32 size from Avenue, not the Walmart sizes. Debbie
