Six Months Today!
Today is my six month surgiversary! I've lost 75 pounds so far (67% EWL)! I only have to lose 13 more pounds to leave the "obese" range and enter into "overweight" territory. And 37 pounds left to reach my goal of 119.
I love my DS! Since surgery, I've gone from a 48.3 BMI to 32.6 BMI. From 22/24/2XL to wearing size 14 jeans and a "L" top. I'm exercising regularly and beginning to love myself again. It's a great feeling!
For anyone thinking about getting the DS, it's been so worth it for me! I know I'm still a newbie, but I really believe this is the best decision I could have made for myself.
Here are a few progress pictures. When looking at these side-by-side, I notice that I wear the same style of blouses all the time. LMAO Time to switch things up, I think!

Congrats!!!!! You look amazing and it seems like you are feeling great! I have to tell you I follow you on you-tube and you have been pretty influential in my decision to go ahead with the DS surgery. I will hopefully be having it on the 24th of this month if everything goes as planned! Thanks for taking the time out to share, it's a gift to many!
Thanks for your kind words! And good luck with your surgery and recovery! It'll be here in no time!!
