3 months....and can you see the difference??

Well it has been 3 months tomorrow that I had my surgery and since my 2 week pre-op I have lost 68lbs......OMG....I can't believe that!!!!

I have to say the first couple of months after surgery were not that great, I was having pain on my left side under my rib cage. My doctor did a CT scan but everything was good with my sleeve, so he said that some people have pain and they never really figure out what it is and it just goes away. Well it did....I still have some pain in the same area but it is very slight and very rare!

I have no problems now, nothing really bothers my sleeve and I don't take Nexium anymore and haven't had heartburn since.....I probably will tomorrow now!!!! lol!

This has been the best thing I could have ever done....of course besides having Hudson....and I had some regrets after surgery! I finally have control of my eating, I eat everything, don't usually deprive myself of anything, but just have a small amount and I am satisfied!!!!!! What an amazing feeling!!!!!!

Plus a bonus of this surgery......I have met some great friends....really great friends!!!! I thank you all for your help, support and for the laughs!!!

PS)  I love the hair do straight and down, looks good on you

 wow, you look absolutely amazing!!!!!!!nice work girl. Its nice to know you are still thinking about  us here. The waiting list seems to have slowed for a while, and it is a little discouraging, but on the other hand, it is also a little unpredictable, so all we can do is be patient. You look amazing, and i cant imagine how great you must feel. So proud of you!!!!!!!!
Take good care

Hi Dean,

Thanks for sharing your success. You look great!
It gives me hope. I have hit another plateau & it is driving me nuts.
But, I look at you and think, see, she got through it, you can too!

How exciting to lose so much in such a little amount of time.
Great work!

Holy Smokes!!  You look gorgeous!  You must be so proud of yourself.  Where'd that extra chin go? 

OMG!  You look great!  You should be very proud of your progress and achievements!  I am in awe of you!
I love a quote I saw on another forum that may be fitting here:
"It is no longer about the weight, now it is all about Living!"

Congrats!
