6 month surgery anniverisary today! :)

Hello,

It has been 6 months already since my DS surgery!  I started Opti-fast almost 7 months ago.  (There were a few surgery cancelations that made the pre-diet longer than it should have been.)  I was 357 when I started my pre-diet.  330 on my surgery day.  I'm now 236.  So, 94 pounds since surgery and 121 pounds overall.  I used to take pills and insulin for my diabetes.  I haven't taken a thing since the day of my surgery.  This was a huge part of my decision for weight loss surgery.  Also, I was in too much pain to do anything.  My ankles, feet and lower back would be in so much pain with minimal walking.  This week, while on vacation, I walked for 3 days all over the city / zoo, etc while carrying bags and children... no issues with any pain at all! This is what it was all about for me. 

I'm not done yet, I still have a long way to go - but I'm looking forward to the next 6 months!

Good luck and take care everyone!

You are such an inspiration to me! I am 2 months post op and was around your weight when I started everything too! Was 320 day of surgery and now am 276. I have worked really hard and I hope I'm as successful as you! Thank you for sharing your process!

Congrats on your weight loss.  My surgery is next week, July 29th. Can't wait.
