9 mos today!

1/7/04 Happy new year everyone! I know I have been bad about updating. I think it's because the loss has been so slow. I am 9 months post op today and I am down 70 lbs. Just goes to show you that even when it is slow, you blink and 9 months have gone by. I feel so much better... only 30 lbs to go to goal. I think I can do it this time. I did join Weigh****chers recently. Something I thought I would never have to do again, so I was a little sad about that. But you know what? It is different this time. First of all because your tummy is smaller you feel satisfied. Second, because I like "good food" (veggies, etc) much more than I used to before. I am amazed at how much fish I eat now. I would rather have fish than anything. I would have never said that before. My body on the other hand, is not "bouncing back" the way it used to in the past when losing weight. I guess its age. At this same weight years before I could wear smaller clothing. I have had a tummy tuck fund going for a while, but I think I need to add a breast lift to it as well. Poor girls have gone way south.. lol. So, I think in about 20 lbs or so I will start looking into surgeons. All in all this has still been a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat, even though so many have lost faster than I have.
