YYYIIIIIPPPPPPEEEE!!!! I went to dr. to weight this morning. I stepped on the scale and set the thingy bob (technical term) to 250. This was followed by a clunking sound. Thinking I had made a mistake, I tried again. I finally moved it to 200 and discovered I now weigh less than 250!!!!!!!First time in a VERY long time. I've lost 47 pounds. My three month anniversary isn't until June 7 so I can still reach my goal of 50 pounds lost at three months. Maybe more. I'm feeling so great and life is grand. I would absolutely recommend this surgery. There are days when I graze and feel yucky and days when I just don't feel like eating. But all in all not too many complaints. Alot less than when I was lugging an extra 47 pounds around!!!

2 months post op !!!!! I went for my 6 week check up yesterday and am down 30 pounds since surgery and 35 since highest. On my way to the doctor's I spilt some food on my top so I ran by a store and picked up a size 22 and guess what . . . It is too big!!! (a tight 26-28 pre op) While I wasn't thrilled with the weight loss, the doctor was. They expect between 10-15% excess weight loss by this point and I have lost 16% so I won't complain. The inches are melting off and that's what counts!!!! Not only that, but I can roll the windows down on our van now and I can reach my own feet. These are the things that really matter. I am only on insulin now for my diabetes instead of all three meds. Even the amount of insulin is going down. Am I glad I did this? You bet. Has it always been easy . . . NO. I still struggle with eating too fast and not chewing enough. And my body doesn't mind a bit letting me know it!!! It is just awesome being able to be active with my family again.
