Six months today!

Today marks my half-year anniversary from surgery. So hard to believe that those days have gone by so quickly. In some ways it feels like such a short time ago, until I realize all the changes that have occurred in that time. During these months, I have not encountered one incident of nausea, or any sort of complication whatsoever from the surgery. I feel that I have been blessed. I am a "lightweight", starting with less than a hundred pounds to loose. I have lost 56 pounds since my surgery, and have 30-35 to go to my goal. I haven't weighed into those ranges in about 30 years! My pants are size 10's, and most of my tops are now mediums. I certainly can't remember the last time I could make that statement. I need to shop for some winter clothes, as my closet is now depleted of all the clothes I held on to forever in hopes that I could wear them once again. We are heading into new territory, and it feels great. I also want to thank all the other "posters" to this Board. You have provided encouragement and wisdom more times than you can imagine.

Congratulations Mary! Six months is a fabulous accomplishment -- enjoy shopping for those smaller new clothes! ~Wanda

Congratulations! You said it right on, it's gone by quickly, hasn't it? We share surgery anniversaries. I, too, have had no (knock wood) complications, nausea, dumping, etc. I feel better than I have in years and years. Eileen
