Five months out today!

and down 71 lbs. Thank God for my wonderful surgeon for giving me this tool. And me for my persistance. I am SO happy with my progress so far. How are other July 7 people doing? Just as good I hope!

WOW... 71lbs? That's awesome!  I'm not a July 7th but I did have my surgery in July - and I'm doing great! 

I am soooo greatful for my surgeon as well! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

So far so good!  I am down 72lbs and LOVING the new me!!  This surgery was the best thing i ever did for myself.

Your exactly right.. God has designed the right Doctor's in our path for the RIGHT life change!! That is so awesome on the 71 lbs.. I have lost also over 120lbs ( 20lbs pre-op 100lbs plus in 4 months!!)
I haven't seen 240's since OOH my GOODNESS when my daughter was born!!!

I will be forever grateful!!
Wishing you continued SUCCESS!!

Congratulations!  I have lost 76 pounds (8 before surgery) and now that I am able to eat without feeing sick most of the time, I am feeling almost normal! 

Good job on your weight lost. I have lost 67lbs post surgery and 104lbs total. I am so thankful this Thanksgiving! Just to think I was thinking about this surgery last year and never had the courage to do anything. It feels good this year not to stuff my face.....WOW!!

I have to agree it DOES feel good not to stuff my belly. I used a side plate and tried a little of all the veg. my husband cooked with the turkey and some Irish boiling bacon.  We are Irish and moved here 17 years ago. It was all delicious! I was working yesterday from 4am to 12.30pm and most of the cooking was done when I came home.My husband is a good cook and the poor man was sweating up a storm when I got home. The kitchen was like a furnace!

I, too, am so thankful for my surgery. I can do my work as a TSA Officer at Logan Airport so much easier now that I am down 71 lbs. I can stand for long periods of time as we have to do and can lug around the bags that need to be searched with hardly any trouble.

My life has definitely changed for the better!!!

Well I have a fellow Civil co-worker TSA .. I work for the USDA!!
