I weighed this morning and I am down 70 lbs now! Wow!!! Soooo happy! I still have a long way to go to reach my ultimate goal but for some reason, this 70 lb mark feels like a huge victory to me. Perhaps it's because I'm finally beginning to see it and feel it? Maybe it's because I can now fit into "regular size" clothes instead of shopping in the fat girl section. Maybe it's because I'm getting lots of compliments from people who are noticing now? Maybe it's because I can finally sleep all night long without waking up with joint pain? Maybe it's because I had blood work drawn a few weeks ago and my cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood glucose levels are all finally at normal levels? Perhaps it's because I'm down to only 1 cardiac medication compared to the 4 I was on just a few months ago? Maybe it's because for the first time in year, I wake up each morning and can get out of bed feeling rested and ready to face the day and my feet and legs aren't still tired, sore, and achy from the day before? Or maybe it's because the last 10 lbs finally brought me to a point where I've lost more than half of what I started out needing to lose....Regardless of the reason, I'm feeling good about this journey today!

Actually, that total includes the weight that I lost pre-op too so it hasn't all been since December. I've probably lost between 20-25 lbs or so since surgery. I actually had to do 6 months supervised weight loss prior to my surgery and then I was on the liquid diet for a total of 5 wks pre-op so I ended up losing quite a bit before I ever even had the surgery.

Congrats you are doing fantastic! I am sure that those new clothes, and people noticing is exciting! Best wishes, Karen

Congratulations!!
