Okay, I know it's been a while since I wrote an update. So here it goes....Saturday was my 4 month post op. I lost nearly 80lbs; totally amazing! I am now down to 230lbs. Yes, I can say my weight with no problem. I am proud of myself. I have no idea what size I wear, but I can't fit anything except for my "one day" clothes. You ladies know what I am talking about; the ones that you put aside and say that you are going to get back in them "one day". All the clothes that brought home thinking you were going to fit but then realize it's too small but you keep them saying, I am going to "one day" get in them. Well, now I can fit those "one day" clothing. Not only that, but I only have a few more months b4 I can even keep them b/c I have room in them. Bras are a "must go buy asap". Shoes are getting big. The sides of the bathtub don't touch me anymore. I am discovering body parts again! My body is more flexible again (more fun for the hubby and I
). I can cross my legs with ease (my favorite all day position).The kids are getting caught doing all kinds of things, not knowing when I am sneaking up on them (so funny). The family and I all eat more healthier now. We eat less processed foods. I removed the few people who were causing me stress out of my life. Things are coming together now for me. I am truly grateful for this blessing. I just ordered a new treadmill tonight, I can't wait to start my new exercise program. It's a Pro Form Quick Fit treadmill with 16 preset workouts. This baby is loaded with everything one can think of. Delivery is within 7-14 days, I am so excited! I figured if I can't get to the gym then start bringing the gym to me.
Back to the clothes size I am guessing I maybe around a sz 18/20. My curves are "banging", seeing the old "brick house body" coming back again. Bra size maybe around 38dd who knows.
The only problem I am still having is just staying focus. I don't eat or drink as I should and sometimes lack on my vitamins (not good I know). My husband works out of town a lot. I have 5 little ones and I home-school. So I have a hard time staying focus on ME
. Which turns out for me to get really sick and have set backs. I need a lot of help in this area. I fear for death at times b/c I know I am not on point 
. Most ppl that do die from RNY comes from not doing what they are suppose to do. I try to use the kids as motivation but it's still not working. I have to purchase a new car so I haven't been to my support groups or last month's follow up appt. So, there U have it the good and the bad. I need everyone's support 
. Advice is truly welcomed.
