Hey NY...I'm 3 Months Post Op and...

I am down 72 pounds!!!! I can't believe how amazing I feel. I am working out 3-4 times a week, my joints don't hurt, I have so much more energy, and I love that when my family gives me a hug they can really get their arms around me I get in all of my protein, vit., calcium, and water. When I eat things usually go down without a problem...not always but most of the time. My favorite food right now is berries with yogurt and flax seed...it's just yummy also a cold piece of watermelon hits the spot. My WOW moments...where to begin Today I had three people say they didn't recognize me , I bought my first ever pair of shorts at Old Navy (I have always loved the cloths there, and now I can wear them) , I wore a dress this week for the first time in who knows how long I can do a 12 minute mile on the elliptical at the gym , I played in the parents against kids soccer game...and really played..ran and everything , looking at my before pic compared to the one I took today...WOW!!!! I usually do more reading than posting, but thank you all for your willingness to share, and for just being here. Clarissa 280/208/160
