70# gone forever !!!

I'm having a WOW moment! I've lost 70# since I started my pre-op diet on 9.1.05 and am feeling sooooo good. This is not easy, but it has been the best thing that I have ever done for myself and now that I'm gettting closer to the 100# mark, I know that I'm doing it! The ride has been bumpy now and then but I know that my success is because of my determination, life changes, choices and the help from my band. I'm enjoying the ride! I hope this inspires others as well. Ally 305 (highest, pre-op 9.1.05), 285 (surgery weight 9.15.05), 235 current

Congratulations I know how you feel. Sandy

Thanks Tammy! Shrinking is a wonderful feeling Ally

Wonderful news. I am down 70 pounds also. I am 3 pounds away from onederland. Cant wait. Havent seen that in along time. Hugs Barb

Congrats Barb, you're doing great too. I got into a pair of old jeans for the first time this weekend and was amazed to find them too big, what a wonderful feeling. I have not been in them for over 5 years, so it is a great NSV for me. Hang in there and good luck with your success as well. Ally

Congratulations, ALLY!!! I'm so happy for you. You know, I don't normally count my pre-op weight, before my 2 wk. fast, but I will now! I did some figuring and yep, I've lost 70# now too! I started at 326 2 wks. before surgery and am now 256. Yes! We're on our way. Take care, Kelly

Hi Kelly, I count every pound I lost, including my pre-op pounds. I lost 20 lbs on my two week pre-op diet and I like to count that as part of my total weight loss, it's a mental thing. You're doing great too, good for you! Keep it going Kelly and thanks for the cheer! Ally
