Day of surgery is was 225 Today i am 122 That is 2 lbs under goal but i'm happy. Tops were xl or 20 Now x-small Bottoms were 20-22 Now size 2 (never been a 2 in my life) My biggiest change is my self confidence and i am truley happy with my life and yesterday i played on the trampoline with my son with no problems i also let him drive me on the 4 wheeler into the woods. Someting i wouldn't have done last year because i was too heavy to fit on that thing. I too am always cold and everyone thinks i'm crazy. I fdid look into new boobs and can't wait to get them....lol My best wow moments are when i see people i have known forever and they don't know who i am. I was always the fat girl. ( NOT ANYMORE. ) GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND I HOPE THE NEXT YEAR WILL BE AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN OUR LAST. Thanks for letting me share with you all... Misty

Day of surgery weight...392.00 Today...219.8 Lbs from goal (or are you at goal?)...20 (or 35 to MY goal) Top size pre-op...4X Today...XL Bottom size pre-op...30/32 Today...16/18 Biggest positive change other than weight/size...I am more confident in myself and my life Biggest not so positive change other than weight/size...I'm always cold and I need to purchase some cleavage (ha!) Best WOW to date...When I visit people who haven't seen me and now they look at me not my weight. YOu really find out who your friends are. Who liked you before and who only like you because they aren't embarrased to be seen with you. Congrats to all Stephanie taylor

Final goal 125 (37 more pounds to go) The littlest things make me want to cry because I can do them now. yesterday I the family want to the park. my 4 year old wanted to chase me around the park and then I chase him. we did this for at least 30mins. now a year ago, I know I would have been at home on the couch while my hubby took the kids to the park. Sat morning I got up at 5:30am met up with other OH memebers and walked around Haines Point twice that's 6 miles. A year ago I would have turned off my Alarm the night b4 so I could sleep in. I am so glad I was banded 11/23 later Heather
