The Sky's the limit.

Congratulations! I am three months out and down 40 lbs since surgery.

Total loss, 60 lbs.

I feel a tremendous weight has been lifted! I can fit better in chairs, cross my legs, run up and down stairs, wear shorts and t-shirts again and overall just hold my head up high with confidence and grace.

I'm so thankful and just can't believe this has all taken place over the course of just a few months.

Today my boyfriend made a roast and potatoes. I literally ate about 3-4 bites of meat soaked in au jous, about 4 mushrooms, and a quarter potato and was near sick.

Before we dug in I remembered those days when I could devour 10 oz. of meat and cup of potatoes, dinner rolls and still have room for a beer and dessert, but I wouldn't trade that old tummy for the way I feel now.

I still cheat and snack on Cookies here and there, but I completely cut out sweet beverages and the portion sizes are what most people consider there first bite LOL.

Anyway, the first week will be tough, you are going to learn how to adjust to this surgery and experience a lot of discomfort. I promise it only lasts about 9 days. Jus sip Water and your broth or whatever else Clear liquids you can handle.

I'm really excited for you, I wish I could start all over again just because I loved all the TLC my boyfriend and sister gave me when I got home LOL....and the pain meds.

But I'm weird like that!

You sound so much like my best friend for life! Especially the pain meds joke... lol.. she would totally enjoy them. Me on the other hand, a glass of wine and I'm in heaven... sleeping like a baby :-)
