I Can See Me, I Can See Me!!!!

Well it finally happened. I can finally see a difference. I had my 6 month visit today and the nurse took pictures of me. They gave me my pre-op photo and the picture that they took of me today. I WAS SHOCKED!! I could not believe that it was me. Neither of them. I could not believe that I was ever that big and now I can't beleive that I am this small. Geez! I am excited by my progress so far, now that I can see it I will enjoy it better. This has made me want to go farther. My doctor thinks that I might loss another 80 lbs within the next 12 months but he said that it would be as easy as the first. They believe that men lose faster but level off faster than women do. Women tend to slow down but lose steadly for longer time periods. I was glad to hear that. All of my labs came back normal and I was told that I am in excellent condition so far. 1 more month of actigall and I am done. They were surprised that I have not had any hair loss. I told them that I do not use fat free produces except for the milk. I was told to keep doing what I am doing because it works for me. I am a happy girl! 26 to an 18 in 6 months, YES!! Thank you for letting me brag just a little. Yolanda

Hey good job Yolanda! You should post some pictures so we can see! Diona

Yeah Yolanda post some pics so we can see you too!!!!!

Congratulations, Yolanda! It is so fun to be able to brag! You go for it!! You may have the key to not losing hair...I have not lost any either and like you, I eat regular stuff...except for lowfat (1%) milk and sometimes nonfat yogurt. Otherwise, I just eat regular foods but less of it. I have lost 90 lbs (80 since surgery). I have at least 60 to go, but I am happy and feel so much better going from a 26 to a 16...YAY US!
