The new me!!

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that my stricture is all fixed. I can eat almost anything and I haven't gotten sick since. Food taste better and it stays down. I almost feel human again. I had a great shock when I got on the scale this morning. I am down 70 pounds since my surgery on Nov.7,2005. Thats only 3 months. I have gone from 288 down to 218!! I feel like a new woman. My rings are too big, my watch is too big, my shoes are too big, I had to move my car seat closer to the steering wheel and my clothes!! They don't look like they were ever mine. They are so big. I went shopping and was amazed because I found a nice shirt I liked and I told my husband. Its TOO BIG!!! I use to say, is there one bigger. I can actually say something is too big!! What a feeling. I am going to see my son and his family next weekend in Maine. They haven't seen me since the week before Christmas. I can't wait to see their faces when they see the new me. I talk to them on the phone, but seeing is believing. Thanks everyone for being here. Sarah

Sarah that is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had our surgeries 10 days apart at the same hospital!!!! email me, Id love to hear what your etcing and how your exercising~ xoxox Bethany 266/204/???

Hi Beth, I am still fussy with eating. I have to have a craving before I can eat anything. If I don't, it will come up. Tomato soup is my favorite. I can eat it every day. Funny Huh! I can eat a slice of deli turkey breast and it is fine. But I can't do any form of beef yet. Also for some reason Chili is great. I can't do any kind of mayonaise, which I loved before. And I can't do anything fried. As far as excersise, I just do my tredmill. But I am going to join curves as soon as the overtime at work subsides. I am working 12 hour days and 6 on Sat. So I am pretty beat when I get home. So how are you doing? What are you eating. Maybe you can give me some ideas. Please get back to me, we can compare eating habits! take care, Hugs, Sarah
