Proud of my progress
So I went to a orientation in February for weight loss surgery. got weighed in a few days later and the scale read 322 lbs. It scared me beyond belief. I have 3 young children at home that need their mom! ugh. So I met with the bariatric program and started the process. I met with a psychiatrist and nutritionist. After meeting with a psychiatrist I was passed to complete the six-week Behavioral Management class. I continue to see the nutritionist and go to the weekly groups. During that process I got down to 304 lbs. By July I had an appointment to meet with the surgeon. I met with him and got my August 24th date for surgery. This was the most exciting time of my life. Finally I was doing what I needed to do to get healthy! Now here I am 11 weeks post op and I am down to 237 lbs! That is 67 pounds since surgery and 85 lbs total. I have so much energy and I feel like a different person! By following by nutritionists recommendations and a lot of willpower, I'M DOING IT! I am the lowest I have weighed over 10 years! Such an amazing feeling! Happy Sunday everyone ????

It's funny because the other day I went inbody XXL shirt. I was almost a 4X when I started. I got home and wore the shirt out with my sister. She told me that I am not realizing how much I lost and an extra large shirt would fit me better. I did not believe her so she dragged me to the store and made me try it on. I could not believe that extra large shirt fit me! next step is boots that fit my calves lol
