My 6-month Surgiversary today!!!

Wow, what a ride! I am 15 pounds from my goal weight, putting me a minus 85 pounds. I am down from a 20 or 2X to a size 10. I lost some boobage along the way, but at least my boobs stick out farther than my stomach now! I go to the gym and work out every single week day, and I "Walk Away the Pounds" on the weekends. I have energy. I take my vitamins. I get my protein in every day. I'm still workin' on the water--my major challenge. This thing works! It's great that I can look in the mirror and see my own face looking at me again -- not my mother's. I care about what I look like now. I didn't give a hoot before. I was too depressed by how fat I was and how much pain I was in. Both are less. Life is good. Love, Cheryl Fobi Pouch Surgery 10/3/05 240/155/140

Rachel, Thank you for the kind words. That teal blouse is a medium that I bought off the rack at Wal-Mart, but it's also MY favorite blouse. It truly is amazing. Six months ago last night, I looked like my before picture. I take a good long look at it to remind me of where I were and where I am now. I thank God every single day for my WLS. It saved my life and my mind. Hugs back, Cheryl

Thank you so much, Angela, for your sweet words. Hopefully, you're little emoticon is doing exercise, because it certainly isn't saying you're not worthy...right? The changes that I have experienced will happen to you too. I just had less to lose. Cheryl

Hey, I just re-read your profile. You started at the same weight as I did. Your 6-month anniversary is tomorrow, right? Who's the WOMAN! YOU ARE Cheryl

Cheryl I am so proud of you. You look great. I have 34 lbs until my "GOAL" and I am not budging!!! Grrr. But, you are doing great!! Did you get the money I sent you??? Erin 292/185/151

Hi Erin, You're probably reshaping again. It's one of those things. When the scale doesn't move, the inches do. Are your clothes getting loose? Yes, I got the money but I haven't had a chance to get to the bank. It's only open after work on Friday, so I'll take it in tomorrow. How are you feeling? Cheryl

hehe thanks Cheryl. Yes, tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary. I cant believe its been that long already!!! I am just so happy where I am at right now. I wouldnt trade it for anything =)
