Well I am over 6 months post-op and still doing good...I have some days better than others....
I am now down to a size 12....
..I have not been in a size 12 since before my first child was born and she is 26...
I am also down from 220lbs to 145lbs....WOW !!!!!!
I dont know when the weight loss and down sizeing stops...
My hair loss is now also slowing down...which is a good thing...I was getting worried....
Had a few slip ups with Halloween and all that candy at the houses i clean...I am gonna do better with Christmas....I PROMISE !!!!
I am running out of clothes that fit me and I have become a avid goodwill shopper...I was very surprised at the good stuff you can find...cant see paying full prices for something I am gonna wear for 2-3 months....
Anyways....Hope you are all doing good....
Talk again soon

Feeling better
Sep 21, 2008
Well I am almost 6 months post-op...WOW can you believe it ??...Its amazing how fast time goes when you are happier !!!
I am feeling much brighter now ...much better than the last couple weeks....I have no idea what was draggin me down...
Fall is almost upon us and as much as I hate to say this i think it is my favorite time of the year !!!
I used to like it because i could cover my fat up with big and baggy sweaters...But this year i am looking forward to wearing much smaller and better looking ones !!!
I am down to 150lbs and about 1 month away from size 14....I am still amazed how fast it has gone and still getting rid of my big clothes...sad to see some of them go...I had some really cute big clothes...but happy to see smaller sizes taken over
Have a good week...

Depressed !!!!
Sep 07, 2008
Well...i dont know what is going on with myself...but for the last couple of days I have felt alone and sad and fat....
I am offically 155 lbs and fitting into a size 16 but feeling that my stomach is still fat..i know that i am only 5 1/2 months out and have still a ways to go...
My friend /neighbour doesnt come visit me anymore unless I am outside and even then she usually just waves and then goes into her house...??? We never go anywhere anymore.....
If it wasnt for my boyfriend I think I would have gone crazy by now....He is always there for me and says all the right things...
I hope i get over theese feelings soon...I DONT LIKE THEM !!!
