I never would have dreamed of showing anyone my weight on a scale. I absolutely dreaded weighing in at the DR's office. As if they cared right?!. Scale numbers are the thing nightmares are made of in my world. I think I was traumatized as a child when they would do "health checkups" at school, everyone would get called to the cafeteria and have to be weighed in front of the people standing behind you. Horrible experience!! Not today folks!! I am thrilled to share my scale experience! My starting weight 10 months ago was a even 267 Lbs on the day of surgery. I am now officially over 100 lbs lost (barely). This process has defiantly been a complete life changing experience. I still have a hard time accepting the numbers, it just doesn't seem real so I weight a good 5x in a row just to make sure I'm not delusional Only 5 more lbs and I will be considered "normal" I have never wanted to be more "normal" in my life From morbidly obese, obese, overweight to normal in 10 tiny months! I would do this surgery 100x again if I had to just to have these moments. I'm incredibly grateful. God is good all the time!!

You're most welcome.

I am in awe of your progress and I am no where near where you are even at 9 months. I need to be more disciplined with myself. Keep it going! You be Should be proud ????

What a great post! Thanks for sharing. You are in inspiration.

@@bellabill Discipline is key! You know as well as I that the surgery definanly helps but it won't do all the work for us. It does take work and that's why it's aggravating when people say WLS is the easy way out. Keep at it!

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful NSV!

@@Jefferyc79 Thank you! With a little time and patients you will!

@@Elode thanks! I'm just starting my journey. But, the fact that I'm 22 plus pounds down before the surgery is awesome and I'm not even on the liquid diet yet! You are my motivation, ride or die!

I'm so proud of you!! I love your attitude! Keep up the amazing work!

@@Jefferyc79 You're rocking it already! I can't wait to see updates!

@@Stephanie_K Thank you! I do my best

Congrats!

@@Elode, every time I see your posts in the 'trending topics,' I'm filled with dread - the titles always read like one of those internet pop-up ads or the subject line of a spam email. Then I read them and sigh with relief. Congratulations!

@@Smye That made me lol! Eye catching no?!

I was just looking at a picture of my daughter (14) and I from our day out Sunday and just realized we kinda look like we could be related, which is odd because everyone always said she looked adopted. Probably because she is thin. Now that I've lost the weight she looks like my daughter apparently. Ha! Just a realization. This is just too much fun! I feel like I have a whole new life.
