3 month update

Hello fellow losers (I say this lovingly). I just wanted to stop by to update everyone on my post surgical experiences. To date it has been 2 months and 24 days since my surgery (Jan 3, 2011). I have lost 54+ pounds. I am down from a 16W to a 12 regular. My goal is size 8, but with curves. The best thing I am happy about is that my cardiologist is talking of taking me off some of my blood pressure meds. My goal is to be totally med free by my 1 year surgerversary (yeah I made it up) date. I feel great. People at my job are really beginning to notice. Some are extra nosey and others seems truly happy for me and like the change. That really doesn't matter because what does matter is that I feel great. The relationship with my live in boyfriend of 9 years is done, but that happened before my surgery. It just magnified things that were wrong after my surgery. Life goes on.

 

Anyone that is still contemplating surgery, it is one of the best decisions I've made for me. I'm healthier, and on my way to happier. Take care and always remember to put yourself first. If you are not at your best you cannot give your best to others.

Wow!!!! You are doing just great. This was sooooooo encouraging to read and a little funny too. You have a great since of humor. I plan on being a loser just like you :D What was your starting weight and where did you have your surgery. I am scheduled for surgery July 6th and I want to get as much information as possible. God bless
