6 MONTHS SURGAVERSARY!!!

Hi Everyone!

I havent been posting much here but I have been lurking almost everyday, On the 23rd I will be 6 months since surgery and I have lost a total of 71 pounds I havent changed my ticker yet.

I have to say its been the best thing I have ever done for my self. I feel great and I love losing weight!

I always have my Protein drink every morning and I do try and eat mostly protein every day, I also eat other things I shouldnt,lol. But I dont do it on a regular basis. My Dr told me that I can eat what ever I want cause I will only eat very little , its what you drink that is important.

I work out about 3 times a week and I walk about 4 times a week, I just started lifting weights cause my arms are huge!

I am in a size 10 pants and I cant remember when I was last in that size of pants. It totally feels great!

The only problem I have is getting my Water in, I am not a water drinker and so I dont get all the water I need I put flavoring in it and that helps.

I have 28pounds till goal!

If there is anyone debating on getting the surgery, let me tell you the only regret is that I didnt get it done

sooner.

Thanks for reading, God Bless,

Lisa

wow.. Happy post!! I love these kind of posts!! Keep them coming, Congrats on your success so far and on ur new happier life:)

I am so glad to have read your post... I am anxiously awaiting my surgery date in July.. i also think i should have made this decision sooner. I believe I was trying to do it on my own.. but I just kept hitting a road block.. Also, with having a toddler i was afraid.... and maybe i am just ready now.. not sure.. but I AM GOING TO DO IT... and I can hardly wait.. to be healthy and into a size 8-10... i can almost taste it.. lol

Your progress is so helpful to those either awaiting surgery, or on the fence..

Thanks for posting..
