Tomorrow is five months how are you doing???

Hey August 23 losers, So tomorrow is our five month anniversary. First congratulations for choosing the losing side and may we continue to progress!!!! As of Tuesday I've lost a total of 69 pounds I started out wearing size 20 and now wear a size 10P(height 5'2"). I'm healthy (all my labs and blood work are normal) I feel GREAT and look FANTASTIC!!!!! My family and friends are very supportive and always seem to ask the same question???? Are you happy that you had the surgery????? my response is ALWAYS the same YES!!!!! so I wanted to update you on my progress and also look forward to reading about the progress that you've made. So how about it, how are you doing????? Marcy

Surgery was on 08/30/04 and per that day I was 374.4 lbs. I am currently -98 lbs down (removed for 'EVER') and if I count my ups and downs along the way it would be -113 lbs; instead. I am getting in my protein and most of my water on most days (5-7 per week). I fit comfortably now in 20/22 (with room) and 18's depending on the designer. I can wear a size XL in shirts. My shoes went from a size 11.5 to 9.5 and 9 medium depending on designer. Here is a funny story: Saturday, husband was washing some dark clothes and came in the room I was in and said: "WOW, you really are getting smaller (he had a shirt that I wore the day before in his hand). He said I knew you were losing weight but that is really nice..." I smiled and he walked away in a maze... So Funny.....! I feel good that things will continue and I 'Thank GOD' and Dr. E for everything over the last 5 months. God Bless you,
