My anniversary
Hey guys! Today is my 6 month anniversary. I weighed this morning and I am down 105 since surgery. I started out at 392 and size 32 and occassionally 34. I now wear a loose 24. Man, what a difference this surgery has made in my life. I think I was born again with a whole new outlook on life that day. I knew going in things would be totally different post-op but I never expected them to be this good. I work out with a personal trainer 3-4 days a week for 1.5 hours a day. I try to do atleast 20-30 minutes of cardio on the off days. Many people have commented about how can you afford a personal trainer- well let's see, I don't eat what I use to eat nor spend the money on junk food and snacks like I use to. I no longer take high blood pressure medication and my co-pay each month was $35.00 for it, which I use towards my personal trainer fund as well. I do protein shakes as well and people have asked the same question there- and I respond the same. I look at it like this- If I wasn't spending the money on bills or whatever before and I was spending it on my stomach, why change it now? LOL- So now I just spend it on my body and my long term health. Anyway, just wanted to share with everyone how things are for me now. It is awesome to be able to walk into just about any department store and buy something off of the rack. And I love going into my old faithful plus size shops and not buying the largest size in the store!! 
Good Luck everyone. Can you imagine our lives in another 6 months???

Amanda - I'm so happy for you. I agree, it is wonderful to buy off the racks! I also agree with your reasoning for paying for the personal trainer. I too don't spend like I used to on eating out and junk food. Now we invest our money in ourselves! Congratulations on your fabulous weight loss. I'll post my 6 mo. results on 10/2/03 after my appt. What a fabulous six months it has been!
