Well I am 6 months out and I am so amazed every day at the changes that I  experience.  I have lost 110 pounds since I started this journey.  I am so thankful for my supportive family....especially my mom who celebrates EVERY pound that I lose.  I wear the black tie scrubs now.... that is a large!!! No X's in front of it!!!! I can hardly believe it. 

Well I have made to the 3 month point...hooray!!! I have lost 56 pounds since the surgery and  26 pre surgery for a total of 82 big ones!!  It is funny because when you work in a hospital and you all wear the same scrubs you know what size everyone wears because of the color of ties on the front.  I was thrilled when I went down a couple of scrub sizes for the first time!!!  Now instead of wearing a 3XL I wear an XL....which means red ties on the pants that everyone can see!!! I love it!! I walk down the hall and see others that wear this size scrubs and think to myself "Wow, do I really wear the same size as they do?"  In scrubs yes  (they fit like PJ's!!)  Also, I am a "tucker"!   I have tucked in my shirt for the first time in years....weird!  But I feel great and I am ready to venture on to the next size down....Thank God and great surgeons!

I feel GREAT!!!  I have lost 23 pounds since surgery!  If you add that to the 26 prior to surgery thats 49!!! I can't believe it...I am really excited to go back to work next week and be sporting a smaller size in scrubs!!!
