The Weight does come off!

I had my surgery in August. It has been almost five months. I weighed 275 and this morning I weighed in at 204. It has been an arduous journey but you know I would not change one day. Yes, I have been into the dumping syndrome. I have felt the queeziness. Sometimes it reminded me of being pregnant about not being able to eat anything in the morning. But, you have to remember that everything has been rearranged and your body has to adjust to all of it. My clothing is falling off now and that is a wonderful feeling. I no longer need to go into the clothing dept. and buy the biggest they have. I got into some skinny pants that I bought in a size I have not worn since I was in High school. That is a good feeling. Merry Christmas to all and please don't give up. It works.!

Nancy, congratulations on your success! You are doing great and it is so encouraging to read your comments. God bless you for giving us this window into our futures, for some of us right now it is a bit tough being so newly pre-op and also for those of us here who are still waiting for surgery. I've been busy putting away all my largest sized clothes and forcing myself into the next size smaller even though my head doesn't think they fit. (they do, actually!) It is hard trying to be patient with the scale, so far I've lost 16 and wi**** were 20. Somehow getting to that number will really make me feel like I'm 'on my way' at last. Have a wonderful Christmas! Molly

I am not going to save anything that has gotten too big. Unlike other times when I have lost weight, I don't see myself ever getting into the larger sizes again....at least that is the plan, lol.

Whoo Hooo! Congratulations on your amazing weight loss. Getting any new clothes for Christmas?
