I recently have had several moments where it has hit me that I am doing great. Crossing my legs comfortably was my first realization, have seen several classmates that I haven't seen in at least a year and they all were asking me how I had lost the weight and lastly going shopping and fitting in a size 10. I still need to lose 24 more pounds but I feel amazing and I am finally enjoying life again.

You're absolutely correct @julia37
Thank you!

I had my surgery on May 19, 2016 and I have had zero complications. The hardest part of the process was my pre-diet of 10 days which was very hard for the first couple of days (headaches, diet coke cravings, and starving) and the fear of the unknown. I have been so blessed, very little to no pain, no gas, and I can eat small amounts of everything (I haven't tried sugar, rice or Pasta, just no desire to eat those things).
Since my pre-diet I have lost 43 pounds, have 27 pounds more to go and feel incredible. The most important thing to remember is that this is a major surgery, do a lot of research about Doctors, and go in with a positive attitude. Immediately after surgery I began walking. Four days after surgery I was walking in the park every morning 2 miles a day and now I am walking 4-5 miles a day. Life is different after surgery, but so much better, I feel like I am finally becoming a healthy, normal weight person.
