HNNYPOT

Well after some devastating events in my life I turned to food for comfort.  I finally hit rock bottom when size 28 was not big enough and I couldn't get into anything cute anymore.  I decided to finally take life into my own hands and do something for myself for the first time in my life and make the changes I needed to to become a helathy active member of society.  So here I am 5 days after surgery and the story begins...**8/30/10 - 7 months post surgery I am now in a size 18!!  Coming down from a size 28 this is HUGE for me!  Not quite sure of the weight loss total as I only go by what my surgeon's scale says - 3 weeks ago the total was 55lbs - so far so good!  Still trial and error to find my "sweet spot" though and right now I think I am too tight as I am experiencing some shoulder/chest pain like I did right after the surgery.  Having issues with getting food to stay down as well...hopefully we can takle out 1/4 cc of saline and I will be set!  My next appointment is 9/9/10 so fingers crossed this is it!  :)
