Two months ago today I had surgery.  I am feeling great!!  I am still lactose intolerant but working around that.  I have lost 33 pounds before surgery and 37 since surgery so a total of 70 pounds!!  Since my hgb is back up I am losing much faster...or maybe a combination of that and exercise.  I can still wear the same jeans but dress pants nearly fall off.  None of my tops fit as they are all to big!  I hit the thrift stores this weekend to try and find something nice for Christmas but only scored a sweater and a top.  Guess I'll hit the after Christmas sales for pants.  This has been a great ride so far!!

Donna!  You are doing so great.  Nice to hear your progress!  Hope I'll get to see you soon.

Good luck with hitting the sales!  I don't know if I could stand it! 

Merry Christmas, Donna.

Donna! So proud of you & happy for you, too! YOU my dear have WAITED and WAITED and then WAITED again. What a darn long journey to finally get you on this side of the bench & I for one am thrilled you are finally experiencing the wonders of this whole WLS journey. Congrats hon!

Have fun shopping but just remember...don't buy too much...it won't fit in a few weeks!

Time to update the profile of your's and post some new pics, too!
