15 week recheck
Hello everyone! I havent posted in awhile but I am always reading the posts, learning more everyday. I had my 3 month recheck a couple of weeks ago - 59 lbs gone forever 
Ive gone from a size 22 (tight) pants to a size 14 and down to a M/L shirt. Im feeling good and have had no problems *knocking on wood*. Still find myself eating to fast and finding out to late that Im full, which of course brings on the nausea. I am one of those who cannot vomit so that gets a little rough at times, but I deal with it. Im still dealing with some other health issues not related to the surgery but all in all things are good. I have a hard time dealing with people's reactions when they see me though. lol The other day I walked into a store and a friend who I hadnt seen in a long time starting yelling "OH MY GOD...How much weight have you lost...how did you do it...look at you..etc..etc." 
She had the entire store staring at me because she was yelling so loud. 
Gotta figure out how to handle that sort of thing a little better. I even had a date last week..which was a very good time..going out again today 
Its been a wild ride but Im loving every minute of it!! Hope everyone is doing good.

Karen,
That is wonderful news. In spite of people having no tact when it comes to recognizing the changes you have gone through, it's nice to hear compliments!!
I am also one of those people that has difficulty vomiting! I thought I was the only one!! I went to a support group meeting the other day and people were talking about how "easy" vomiting is post op and I'm siting there thinking, "what's wrong with me?!"
I also have to slow myself down with eating. Very hard!!
I'm happy to hear how far you've come! Post some pics when you can!!
