posting my first swimsuit pic,be gentle,lol

,this was taken last night by hubby,who is so tickled to see me excited about actually having a swimsuit, now its a tankini, because my tummy looks like an old raisin, for real.with my gastric bypass, i went from 260 down to 182, and remained there up to 4 years post op. then march of last year dr. robin friedman, a wls patient herself, asked me if i wanted her to help me loose the rest of my weight, i was skeptical right away, but she told me about topamax, i started out at 25 mgs and increased it every 4 days by a quarter of a pill, i had no side effects at all and got to a safe 225mgs and that was the dose that changed everything for me, my tastes for foods and drinks changed so much it was outrageous, it is my miraclee pill, no doubt about it. and i know others that have had wonderful results with no side effects. its not like a diet pill that makes you go-go-go, you dont know your taking it at all, so anyway last march i was 182 and today i am 122 and wear a size 1 to a 3.now topamax is also for migraineswhich i do get but havent since being on  this pill. i cut my dose back to 75 because i do not want to loose another pound, whew, never thought id say those words!LOL if the picture isnt on my post you can go to my profile and it on there. im no swimsuit model by no means but this is the very first time i have shared a swiimsuit pic with anyone !! my regular doc, is so impressed he is now going to start recommending it to some of his patients. i tell everyone how i lost 60 pounds in a year with no effort. i eat very healthy now and its a total easy thing to do since you dont crave anything, it was way easier then the rny without the pain. well i just wanted to share my lil weightloss secret, i wi**** could help others like it did me,  so feel free to check out my tankini! thanks for listening to me ramble,lol

Good am Shelly, The suit is cute! I've not taken Topamax for migraines (which I get from time to time) but the weight loss for you has been tremendous. I've heard other talk about that med working well for them. Hope you're doing well. All best!

thanks kat, yes, ive also just been telling people about it, and one day at the tanning salon i was telling this girl about it and another lady spoke up and said oh wow, i take it too and since ive been on it ive lost 45 pounds, we both agreed its a miricle pill for us.

Very cute. You should be so proud. Congratulations. By the way, are those pills over the counter? I'd like to mention it to my sister. Thanks, Penny

hi penny, thanks a bunch, i like the top more then the bottoms they are a lil loose in the caboose area, but i couldnt imagine an x-tra small bottom, i got it at target,they have alot of cute bathing suits,i wanted a tankini so my raisin tummy doesnt show,lol oh and they are prescription only, im glad our insurance pays for it cause a 30 day supply! is 600.000.

Shelly your pics are great  girl good job and good to see you posting again. Now to the Topamax Im mad lol here I take Topamax everyday not for weightloss but for other reasons and it hasnt given me these results h*** none now my son took it years back for seizures and it did help him as well he lost like 67 pounds in a year but  I want to know why its not helping me and I take  200mg a day grrrrr . But anyway you look fabulous. Lets see ya around here more ok. 

hey there, hey i love the new pic, and wow that blue is gorgeous on you. i  still come on to read alot though. how long have  you been taking it?you know it took me over 2 months before i noticed taste changes and before i even lost my first few pounds.

Shelly -- you look amazing.  You should be so proud of yourself!  Congrats!  :)
