Feeling AMAZING 12 weeks post op! : )
Hi everyone.... I am 12 weeks out tomorrow! Although last week was rough for me (I found out I had an Ulcer) This week is starting out GREAT! I am down 75lbs and feel AMAZING! ! ! ! Everything I have gone through is SOOOOOO worth it! I have uploaded a before and after picture... The before is HORRIFYING to me.. And the latest one is one taken Yesterday at my Sons Party! : ) Today, Also... I had an AMAZING wow moment. Someone made a comment to me yesterday about my pants being baggy... When I explained that I had only gotten them last week.... They suggested I go out and get more! LOL The scary thing is, If I had done that I would be a size 16. I haven't been a 16 in 14 years! And, Being skeptical they wouldn't fit.. I brushed it off. Until today, for **** and giggles.. I tried some on... They FIT! I am OFFICALLY A 16!!!! Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
You are looking amazing. I'm happy to hear you are having a better week than last week.
How did you find out you had an ulcer? I have been getting sick lately and I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's getting old fast. I just want to be able to eat in a new normal way.
Keep up the great work.

How are you feeling? I actually started eating somewhat week 10.. Tuna... Crackers.. Light things.. One night I threw up blood.. Dr. Ameri had me go to the ER. They kept me overnight and ran all sorts of tests. I am now on all liquids again for another month!
I hear ya about wanting to be normal again lol..
I will see you soon!
Completely off the subject, I really like your hair cut. I have fairly long hair and keep debating on cutting it for a new look to go with the new me. I haven't lost as much weight as you have but it also sounds like I have been able to eat more types of foods. I keep telling myself that I shouldn't compare myself to others..
But Congrats and keep it up..
