I am not six months since surgery still doing GREAT.  Feel wonderful still walking (seven days) Curves ( three days a week) and weight lifting (small weights). 
Right now I am 175 lbs and lost count of the inches.  I had 5 inches cut off my belt and need to go back and do it again. Wow that feels so good to finally be on the losing side.  I am slowing down but that is fine with me.  I did cut my walking down from 4 miles a day to 2 miles to slow the weight  down a little.
I now feel and look like a different person

Wow I can't believe it has been 5 months since surgery and have been too busy to post...this woman is on the move.
I have lost 75lbs now and down 3 sizes in pants and tops not sure of inches but 7 just this month. 
Still feeling wonderful and twenty years younger. lol
I am walking 4 plus miles  a day now and 1/2 mile of jogging I always wanted to jog.  I do Curves 3 times a week and have bands and weights to tone up with.  When it cools down some I will increase my mileage but too hot here now.
I don't really miss eating like I use too and learning new recipes and changing how I eat.
I was a model for a fashion show this week and got dressed and walked by the mirror and did a double take could not believe that was me.  Size 12 and those pants will be too big soon. wow love wls.

Well here it is three months from surgery and I have lost 59 lbs and of that 43 has been since surgery.  I feel so good to be under 200lbs have not been this weigh since 1986..wow
I no longer need my c-pap at night and sleep great.
Fitting into clothes I never thought I would see  that size again.
I have to stop shopping....lol
I exercise everyday and love the new shapes of my body already I have legs...
I can do yard work again and enjoy it.  WLS has really been a FUN ride so far.  I feel like I am in my 20's again and try to tell my body that all the time to catch up....lol
I have lost
5 1/2 in. in bust
3 1/2 in. waist
4 in. in abdomen
2 in. in thighs
1 1/2 in. in arms
That does not seem like much but it is already making a difference

It has been one month since my surgery I feel WONDERFUL.  I am losing inches and pounds.  I weigh in at Curves today and have lost 18.5 lbs and down 12.5 inches overall.  Wow Wow 
I am working out at Curves 3 days a week now and walking 2 1/2 miles a day plus doing some free weights.  I have never felt so good and my wardrobe is getting bigger so I will have to shop before the summer is over.
My body just feels so different and I know I am not losing as much as I am suppose to but this is more than I have lost in 5 years of trying.

It has been two weeks since surgery and I had my first doctor appointment.  I lost 13 lbs.  I have felt really good I had no problems at all.  I had surgery on Wednesday came home on Friday night walked our yard on Saturday and Sunday.  By Sunday I wanted to walk my mile but my husband held me back and so "NO".  I can not tell you how good this has been for me.  I had a puffiness about myself and in the first two weeks that is gone.  I now have wrists and ankles and don't feel like I am stuffed into my skin.  I have started back to Curves this week and walk two miles a day.  I am getting my protein and water in.  
I really feel that excerise is what made my surgery go so well.  I really was only sore the first night and after that it just got better.
I love the chocolate protein smoothies, jello and cottage cheese is my friend and I hated cottage cheese before.  Special K. has a protein drink out which is good that goes into water for a little extra protein.
I am following my doctor advise and he was real please with me.  My legs feel so much better after taking off total of 31 lbs now and I know it will get better as the days go on.

Tomorrow is sugery 6:15 boy is that early since I don't get up till 8:00.
