I am 4 months out today and down 74 pounds!!!!
I feel better than I have in years... I have started losing my hair but its ok, I just had it cut off real short to make it easier to fix. Things that I can do now that I could not do 4 months ago include:
-ride 5 miles on bike without stopping
- paint my toenails myself,lol
-fit into a size 22 jeans (getting lose)
-get in the floor and play with my granddaugther without having to have help to get up
-run on the treadmill for a solid 2 minutes without stopping to rest. I know that is not long but it is a start, lol.
There is so much more that I could list. This surgery has saved my life and I am so grateful. Although I was at a stall for about 5 weeks, I still managed to lose 74 pounds and come down from a size 30W (tight) to a 22w (lose) in pants and from a 5x (tight) to a 2x shirt, so I guess I should be pretty proud.

Thank you all for your continued support!!
I love you all!!!!

Way to go Girlie !!

Nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

Hi There,
Congrats on being a "BIG LOSER"! It always feels great when we can accomplish something that we feel is SO big to us.Especially when it comes to being able to breath again or not exerting yourself within the 5 minutes of a bike ride or any exercise.You should be really proud of yourself you deserve it!!!!

With All God's Great Love,
Brandy
