WOW, 8 months post of... Time sure does fly by!!!!

WOW, it has been 8 months since I walked into the hospital to change my life. Time sure does fly by.... I have had a great time. I have never dumped nor been sick to the point of throwing up. God has truly blessed me through this journey. I have lost 119 lbs and some how think it should be more. Maybe that is how I got into this mess....always wanting more.. I want to lose about 45 more. I know those will be the HARD pounds. I need thousands of dollars of plastic surgery, but not sure when or if that will happen. I almost feel like I should leave the hanging skin there to be a reminder of what I had done to my body. I feel great and off all meds that I was taking before. I thank God for a great Dr. and for great family and friends. This web site has been a great help to me these last 8 months....thanks to all of you!!! Tamara

Thank you so much for your comment! I am so happy you decided to come over and join us on this board!!! Its a wonderful group of people and I think you will really like it here!!

Way to go! Congrats! I love everyone on this board. It has been a huge help to me. You will get thos final 45 lbs. I am about at the same point as you. I still have about 49 to go. We can do it and when we do we will have all our friends here to cheer us on.

This site is a blessing to me. I am so happy to hear everyday about people who did the same thing I did and all the experiences they encounter are many I encounter too. I look forward to this journey, and seeing the results of everyone else too. It helps to know people out there are feeling what I am feeling and struggling with things I struggle with too. I am 1 lb. away from Dr. goal and 9 lbs. away from my personal goal. Sometimes it just seems surreal. A true blessing, but sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure this is real. To everyone, I say, we all should be proud. I thank you for your support and friendship and I wish everyone the very very best. GOD BLESS each and every one of you LOSERS !!!!

Welcome to our losers bench, Tamara!! We're glad you're here!! I want to congratulate you on your TREMENDOUS success!! You're an inspiration!! I'm glad to have such an AWESOME, supportive group of women to turn to to dispell fears, cry happily at our successes and to get through rough points. What a blessing!! God bless! Brenda

Congratulations on all your successes, Tamara! It is hard to believe it has been almost 8 months since my surgery. I have lost 90 lbs since surgery and 60 during the 6 month pre-op before. None of us is ever totally satisfied and think we should have lost more. LOL I'm pretty darn happy and I imagine your life has changed dramatically also!

It's been a dream, hasn't it!
