I have lost my daughter.

Hello amos family, I don't post much but had to post this since it was from the mouth of a ten year old and they are so truthful at times. I am only allowed to weigh every Friday. I have a very supportive husband and kids. They also read the boards and decided before surgery that the scales should be hidden so I wouldn't be on them twenty times a day.lol Well I weighed in Friday for a grand total of 82 lbs gone. My daughter looked at me and said wow mom you have lost a Kimmy.lol Thats when it really hit me this surgery is really working. My daughter weighs 79lbs and I can't imagine carrying her around all the time. She looked at me and said will you ever loose a daddy.lol He weighs in at about 150lbs. I said I sure hope to loose a daddy.lol Well anyway I was just so excited that I had to post. My life has changed so much. I have went from a mom that couldn't get out of her chair to a mom that does everything and was able to go out and get a job that was the best part. I am so happy and would have this surgery over again. The only regret I have was chickening out five years ago when I had the opportunity to have it then. I am happy to say I will soon be as healthy as my children and my husband. WE have broken the cycle with our children and they are all within their normal weight limits. I hope to spare them what I have gone through. WEll have a great weekend time to go give the bathroom a good cleaning. Man can't believe I am typing that before the surgery I was lucky to even get in the shower to clean me.lol Diana 315/233/?

I have lost half of my Kimmy and have full one plus 14 pounds to go. MyKimmy weighs right at 100 pounds! It is hard to believe what the extra weight amounts to. Wen I was 2 weeks post op I needed to lose half of me!!

I know just what you mean. Last night it dawned on me that I had lost more weight than my mother weighs -- and there's no way I could carry her around. So how in the world did I do it all those years??? She weighs 149 and I've lost 160 (and that doesn't include the 15 pounds I lost BEFORE surgery!). No wonder my knees don't hurt now! Deb 374/214/175
