I am almost 4 weeks out from surgery and I can't believe that I'm on the road to being healthier and slimmer!  I have been overweight all my life and I just can't wrap my head around that this time next year, I could be 100 lbs lighter and several dress sizes smaller!  I know that wls works, especially for those that follow the rules, but in my mind I'm like, "Me?  In Onederland???  Wearing a size ___teen????  NAHHH!!!!!  No way!!!"  Anybody else felt like that?

I am with you!  I have already purchased some teen sizes of clothes.  It is so much fun thinking about being smaller and to think that we are on our way to becoming that thinner, healthier self that we have always dreamed of being is unfathomable!  Congrats to you on your success!

I started out at 294. Looking at all of the before and after pictures I thought "omg that could never be me!"  I thought If I got under 200 it would be a dream. Then I got to 185 and today I'm at 159. Size 22-24 to a size 8!

It's crazy - Crazy good!!! Enjoy every moment!!!!

It's an amazing ride! I went from a size 24/26 to a 4/6 in two years. I keep my old pants and look at them sometimes. It is a great motivator to keep going. My husband and I both can get into my old Capri's we did it this past summer it was hilarious! Both of us in each of the legs.

I really need to post some new pics!
