OK, so I haven't been on here in a month or so. It's funny how this site becomes your entire life when your preparing for your surgery and then the month or so after....and then life pretty much goes back to 'normal' and you forget to check in! Friday will be my 3 month mark, so I figured I'd update everyone on my progress! As of this morning, I have lost 65 lbs!! It's pretty mind boggling to think of! I still don't see that I've lost THAT much, my friends and family sure do!

To anyone contemplating having this surgery, or for anyone who just had it and are thinking they made a mistake...I would like to shout this from the rooftops - THIS IS THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE FOR MYSELF!!!!!! The only regret I have is waiting so long to do it!

And since I promised...here are some pics :)

Great job! Your daughter is adorable. Were you all in OC? We are heading there in about 2 weeks, I can't wait. Hoping this year I will actually be able to get down in the sand and play with my daughter. Looking forward to it.

Thank you! I think she's pretty cute too :) We were actually at a beach in North Carolina in those pics. We go to OCMD in August. Hoping to lose another 10-15lbs by then! The weight loss definitely made the beach A LOT better! I felt comfortable in my bathing suit, I could keep up with the kids in the water and on the sand, and the heat didn't bother me at all! I walked 2+ miles on the beach everyday and loved it. Enjoy your vacation!!

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. As a pre-op, I can't get enough of hearing how happy people are with their decision. I think it is a good sign that you found yourself caught up in life so much you forget about this forum. I think that is super! That is what we all want really. We can all use your experience so do keep popping in for an update.

Congrats to you and keep doing what you are doing. Clearly it is working!

Fabulous job. You look wonderful and Happy! Keep up the great work!

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
