Hi Everyone!  I am 7 months post op and as of this morning I am down 100 pounds! 

I am so happy!  I was thinking this morning how I felt 100 pounds ago...
I could not even go from my car into the store without being short of breath!  Forgetting something on the other side of the store, out of breath again, now I never get out of breath and it feels SO great even going up stairs!!! 
I used to use SO many excuses not to go out and do things with my family because of feeling out of place, now I want to go out ALL THE TIME, nothing all that special, but OUT anyway feels Fabulous!  We have even gone to a water park twice this summer!!! 
I am reminded everyday how bad I felt before without really knowing it at the time how bad it was..Being healthy feels GREAT!! 

I wish I had more time to reply to every one's posts, SO many great informational subjects are on this board, but I read them daily and I thank all of you for helping me, even if we have never spoken:)  I have found great support here for the posts and my occasional question!   

So the only thing I regret at this point is not measuring myself before surgery!  I REALLY wish I had done that!  I do take pictures each month and can see the changes that way.   
The only problem I am having is the head issues:)  My head does not want to see who is in the mirror, I am hoping it passes because I still see a big girl!  I think it is driving my husband nuts! :) The pictures we take each month still shock me, it does not look like me, but it helps a little.. 

I still have 25 pounds to my goal, but so far I have gone from 24 pants to 9-10s and 2X (tight) tops to being between a Medium and Large top, and sadly my ta ta's have went from a 40F to a 36D...But life is GREAT!!! 

Thanks again to every one who posts!  I really enjoy following you through your journey's and seeing the changes in you all as well!!!!!   Crystal
