Just wanted to share

I just wanted to share with everyone on this board since you have all been so supportive and helpful.

So I am one month post op and I am shocked at all the changes that have taken place so far.
Highest weight  August 2008-351lbs
Surgery weight November 13 2008-325lbs
Current weight December 13 2008-296 lbs

That is 55lbs total, 26lbs lost pre-op on a low-carb, low fat diet, 29lbs post-op. I haven't weighed less than 300lbs in at least 10 years. I couldn't see the changes even though people kept telling me that I was losing weight and that it was noticeable. It didn't really hit home until I went clothes shopping this week and realized that my jeans are now 2 sizes smaller and my tops are 1 size smaller. I wanted to cry in the dressing room and when I came out to get my friend's opinion on a pair of jeans she said "It's nice to see your ass again since your jeans have been billowing in the wind the last month and you couldn't tell that you had an ass." I went instantly from tears to laughter. Thank god for friends, I don't know what I would do without mine!

Congrads!!!   You have to love your friends.  I have been laughing with my friends as we usually meet for coffee, etc.  and they have been so great about calling and including me but instead asking me if I would like to meet for a cup of coffee they offer to take me out for a cup of water or crystal light.  In the words of my friends I am a cheap afternoon.   Keep up the good work.  Sara 

Be proud, girl!! You're doing it!!! Isn't it amazing?! Continued success!!!!!!!
((hugs))
