4 month mark! Going Great!!!

I've been doing great! And today it's officially four months to the day since my procedure. I am down to 291! I haven't been this weight since after I had my second child. My exercise amounts could be more but I'm back to my bike riding, which I love and I'm doing my walking. I stopped taking the elevators in the subways and do the stairs with ease. My blood pressure is down and staying down I'm feeling good about myself and I actually like to look at myself in the mirror again, I've been getting lot of nice looks. Would I do this again? In a heartbeat!!! This is the best thing I have done for myself ever!!! 369lbs -starting 291lbs -current 78lbs -gone forever! Long way to my goal of at least 160 but with lots of work I know I'll get there! Keep your eye on the prize and a song in your heart!!!

Yes Deanna, you are doing so very well. I too am so thankful for this surgery and agree that this is one of the best things I have done for me. We are a lucky group, very glad we are alive now and have had the opportunity to find skilled surgeons, support professionals, and each other. I get upset when people comment that "I took the easy way out" to weight loss. They do not realize the years spent trying to lose weight all to end in failure as the lost weight plus so much more came back onto my body. I am no longer the prisoner of my body. I am very happy to have lost the 76 pounds I have. I never expected to weigh 330 lbs, but it happened to me. I do not know how low I will go. My goal is truly to be healthier and be able to move and live life. Already I am doing this and feeling so much better. Keep up your good job. We are lucky....and we know it.
