I can't believe I've made it this far!

Well, if you read my member info here, you will see that I had a very rough start with my lap RnY. Mercifully, I was under the care of top flight surgeons and medical persons, therapists and my personal trainer to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude. I had my surgery on 11/26/02. It's now late September and I'm now down 107 lbs! I now weigh 143 with a BMI of 27. I've gone from a 24 to an 8 or 10. I feel so confident that I have a great tool now that can help me sustain a healthy body weight for the remainder of my life! I've worked at this very diligently, though...I eat a low carb diet, get all my vitamins and water, take all prescribed medications and here's the clincher: I EXERCISE EVERY DAY. I am certain this has been the reason why my weight loss has been quick and that I have very little redundant skin. Dare I say, I am almost getting BUFF! *grin* I hope all of you are doing well, too. I wasn't pleased during the first stages of my recovery, but I can honestly say today that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. YAY rah! for bariatric surgery! Best to all of you, Maria
