Hi Everyone, Well tod...

Hi Everyone, Well today I'm 11 months post-op and weighed in at 263lbs. So this means that I've lost 78lbs since my WLS (3/27/03) but an overall total of 90lbs from my highest weight of 353lbs. I'm losing lots of inches and have now gone from a size 30/32 to a size 22 and now all of my 24's are very big on me. Though I'm a slow loser, I still feel so blessed that I am losing and with NO complications. I'm going back home to Chicago next month for a short vacation to see my family and we'll see if they can see the difference. Sometimes I do get depressed because I'm so slow but I truly feel great and I look very healthy. I guess as the old saying goes "the slow turtle will win the race in the end." Many Blessings, Marilyn Lexington, KY 341/263/175 3/27/03 (-78lbs)

Congrats sweetie!!!! I bet they wont even recognize you! Hugs, Dana

Hi Marilyn, You are doing a great job! I say as long as it's going down and NOT up that is a FABULOUS thing! Keep up the good work. May God Bless you in your journey! Jill
