9Months Has Passed

It's been 9 months since my surgery, I had my ups and downs. At first I felt like I made the biggest mistake in my entire life. But know I couldn't have it another way. I am so happy, and blessed that I made this decision. I've lost bout 130lbs. I am so happy

Congrats on 9 months but most of all congrats on being so happy with your decision and the success you've had :) Awesome job! I hope I can do the same when my time comes.

Congrats on your weight loss!!! I'm at nine weeks and thinking the same that maybe I made a mistake. Wish I could fast forward to nine months and actually enjoy my descision. I'm so happy for u. Yes weight loss is a huge reason we all choice this surgery, but in essence we all are hoping to be happier, weither happier with ourselves, or happier because we can enjoy life more, and u have achieved this happiness, congratulations!!!

Thank you very much. Remember everyone is different. And in your case it might be even easier for you than it was for me.

I was never hungry it was more the fact that I saw my entire family eating all this foods, that I couldn't. I got so depressed. I wasn't mentally prepared, and on top of that I have depression.... So that didn't make it any easier. As time pass by I felt better and better. And I was mentally prepared. And I knew that I made the right choice. I saw the difference in me, my personality how I carried myself. I feel amazing.

Thanks for that, can't have been easy on so many levels, but from your pic you look great so it was obviously worth it. Again well done and you, and others on this forum, give me strength for what I must do, can't wait for my 130 but I can see that that is the light at the end of a dark tunnel :-)
