I am truly blessed....6 mos out and feeling terrific

I can't believe how fast the 6 mos has flown by. It will be 7 mos on July 11th and I'm down 86 lbs., 34 lbs. to go to reach goal. I am able to eat just about anything I want, still only small portions but I feel satisfied. I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of anything like I used to when dieting. If I want a cookie, I eat one cookie. You wouldn't dare eat a cookie on a fad diet plan. I'm having so much fun shopping for clothes. Building a brand new wardrope for a brand new me. YEAH ! I am going to the pool this summer and actually sitting in the sun.... in a bathing suit.... in public. Something I would never have done in years past. My family is very proud of my accomplishment and I'm proud of myself, too. Best of all, I feel healthy. I have lots of energy and enjoy exercising, walking, swimming and being around people. My self esteem has rose to ultimate levels. I do truly feel blessed to have met my doctors. They know their stuff when it comes to performing WLS and I'm thankful to them, my family, and to God for allowing me to become a vital part of society again.
