They say all's well that ends well. At the beginning, I could not see that.

But at 4 months out, I've lost 71 pounds since surgery. All totaled 101 lbs. I've gone from size 24 pants and 3X top to size 12/14 pants and a size medium top; size 48DDD bra to a 36 C.

It was worth losing more than half the "twins", my butt, and some of my hair. Such a small price to pay. So, hang in there, newbies. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Congrats on reaching goal!! Thanks for the encouragement and reminders! You have done excellent - feel proud!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll be on the losers bench tomorrow afternoon.
