I'm so excited!

I weighed in at the Bariatrics group that handled my surgery, and I weighed 186!!! Down 65 pounds!! Praise Jesus!!! I had not weighed in a while and I had no idea that I had broke 190. Plus, I fit in a pair of size 16 Lee jeans the other day. I am so excited. My 20 year class reunion is coming up on October 9th and I want to look nice. I was one of those fat girls that always got picked on by the "beautiful" people. I was hoping to be in a 14 by now, but I will take what I can get. Bless you, Sherri 13 weeks post-op 251/186 Size 22w/16

You GO GIRL....Praise be to the Lord our God....what a testimony you will be taking to your reunion..(Look what the Lord has done)...Amen... Dawn

Congratulations on your success Praise GOD. Georgeann

Good for you, my friend!!! You go and shine that inner beauty that comes from the Lord as well as that outer beauty.... they won't know what to think of ya... and just maybe they'll ask and you can share how wonderful our Lord has been! You'll have to give us a report on how it goes on the 9th. God Bless!

Thanks Shirlene. I hope my post didn't sound too vain. I give all the glory to God. I prayed over and over, when I was going through the approval process, that I was not doing this for vanity, but for my health. I would be lying, though, if I didn't say that I didn't want to be that "fat girl" still 20 years later. My prayer is that now that I am not so self conscious about my weight, I will be bolder to approach people and tell them what the Lord has done in my life. Today my mom is taking me to Los Angeles to go shopping for a dress. When I was in the hospital she told me, "I'm not going to buy you flowers, I'm going to take you shopping for a dress when you get ready for your class reunion." Wasn't that nice of her? Especially since money is really tight right now and my clothes are all too big. God bless my parents, they are so good to us. Bless you, Sherri
