Four Month Anniversary :dance:

Well, today is 4 months since my surgery and I am down 100 lbs. Thats a freaking person! I went from a size 26 and now I am a 16. I am still about20-40 pounds away from where I should be. But I started at 294 and I am 198 now. It is so wonderful to be healthy again. My skin is retracting nicely. I am only 20 though, so hopefully I wont have to have any lifts afterwards. My back pain has not gone away at all though, which was what I was hoping for, so I recently started using medical Marijuana , and it has been a life saver. I feel like I have been touched by an angel sometimes I mean what if this surgery was never invented, we would all still be obese, right? I can finally ride horses again and I am starting to feel a little bit sexy Anyways, feel free to write me at [email protected]. -Mandie

Congrats on your weight loss! Isn't it great the way your whole outlook changes with something like that? I am down 123lbs and still have a long way to go but I am so glad you are close to your goal. I wish you luck with your back pain and hope something will be able to be done with it soon. Keep up the good work! Doreen

Hey, we're anniversary twins! And I'm now depressed cause you lost 100 and I only lost 60ish lbs.. .... Kidding...congratulations though whatever you did is working be it exercise or eating (are you a diabetic?) If not that may be the reason - I am and that slows down my progress. But I'll get there...eventually...

Ruth, I am not a diabetic, and have lost about the same pounds as you. I think my lose is slow due to thyroid problems and not eating enough protien nor getting enough water in every day. It can be discouraging, but as long as the numbers keep goign down, I guess it is all good. Terri

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!! 100 lbs. That's awsome !!!! CONGRATS !!!! Laura
