2 month anniversary

Well it was yesterday but I had no time to sit and write but 2 months has passed already. It feels sometimes like it flew by but when I say to people it was 2 months ago I still feel like such a newbie!LOL Any way I have lost 49 lbs and just want to say and type it to realize it myself. I am down a total of 67 since the start of this process in Novemeber. I never thought I would make it this far. I ran into my regular doctor who hasn't seen me since last Fall when I asked her opinion of the surgery. She suggested I try to lift 60 lbs and I just laughed. I do understand her point, I need to be always aware of the weight I used to carry as I know I probibly couldn't throw 60lbs over my shoulder and carry it very far now I used to carry it on my body on a daily basis. I never want to go back to that now. Jennifer

Congratulations on your weight loss. That is wonderful. A friend told me I should go the the butcher shop and ask to carry around 40 pounds of beef. That is what I lost so far myself. It is amazing. Like you I never want to go back. Clare

Jennifer, Congrats on the weight loss. You sound like you are doing great. Leslie

Congrats Jen!! You should be very proud of yourself. Im now at 6 weeks, and for some weird reason Ive only lost 16 lbs. I am working out, however, so I hope it just means that Im building muscle. Congrats!! I hope you had a wonderful Easter. It was funny--I didnt even think about eating any of that evil candy. funny how our tastes change after surgery huh?

Thats awesome !! Congratulations !

Congrats on your weight loss Jennifer. Similar to Clare's sugeestion about the beef...go to the grocery store and put 67 pounds of butter in your cart...mind boggling! I am looking forward to getting to the loser's bench too. ~Cher
