Down 70Lbs In 6 Months



Recommended Posts

OMG! I can't believe I'm actually down 70lbs and it will be six months on 5/2/12. This is so awesome! I love that I can cross my legs without having my lower legs go numb. LOL! My thighs don't touch when I walk and I had to buy all new clothes. I feel like a million dollars. To wake up every morning without back pain is the absolute best thing I have gotten from this surgery. No more pain pills, no more bulging discs and no heel pain at the end of the work day! I will post pics when I find the time. Thank you all for posting. Your words have helped through the weird times, the frustrating times and the happiest times. Stay cool!

Lisa, congratulations!

Your improvements are absolutely wonderful and it sounds as though your quality of life has greatly improved! :)

I have scoliosis and am starting to enjoy the benefits of having less weight on my spine. It is definitely great to be in less pain.

Lissa - Yes, it is. :) Thank you. I went and had my hair chopped off last Thursday morning. It's a blast from my past hair styles, but it's a good, easy summer haircut. :)

Thanks everyone!! Isn't great to go get your hair done and pamper ourselves. I didn't do much of that before, just didn't even like the idea.

Krissy20: you will be here eventually...you will look and feel HOT! Keep me posted!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
