Of course I don't mind! I'm a complete open book, my profile is public, and my pictures are raw!
Thank you so much for the incredible compliment.

I am totally annoyed when people ask me that, which they still do after I've lost 70 pounds in five months! People don't understand how hard it is to control overeating and food addictions.

 
Highest weight: approx. 293
Pre-fast weight: 284
Surgery weight: 274
Lowest weight:163
Current weight:182

Great job!!!  I'm wandering how do you adjust your clothing during these months that you are losing these large amounts??

Well, I still have my old clothing from when I was a smaller size. I started at size 50 (and getting tight at that), and now I'm 44 and it is getting loose. However, I only have a few pants smaller than that, so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy some new clothing.

Oh, that reminds me. I got a great new suit in 2003 at Barneys in New York that I could only wear a couple of times because I was gaining weight. Now it fits fine! Maybe a little loose, but I can always have it taken in,

Unfortunately even size 42 is a bit large. I'm looking forward to size 40, when I'll be able to shop at the Gap like a normal person.

I'm with you on that....if I have to go in Lane Bryant's one more time I will just die! Maybe not die but you know what I'm saying.  I want to go to American Eagle & Aeropostle!!!  I've made a promise to myself that I will NOT buy anything else until I'm at least 40 lbs lighter.  That's a huge thing for me because I'm quite the shopaholic!!

On looks alone.... it was worth it: 



I also no longer have high blood pressure, no more GERD, no high cholesterol, no chronic pain, can stand on my feet for hours HAPPILY (preferably) and feel and look younger.

I too am having the same type of issue with the people around me. That's why I came to this site. I knew I would be able to connect to people who understand me and know where I'm coming from. I have one thing left to do before everything is submitted to my insurance and I am not turning back. I'm basically not telling anyone I'm having WLS that's been negative towards me about it in the past. After I have it and they still have something to say, they will have to accept it, they have no choice. If they continue to be negative or not supportive, I do not need them in my life. Thank God that doesn't include my family because my mom and brother had RNY and have been encouraging me for the last 5 yrs of my journey. I look forward to my exciting future and can't wait!!! Just keep coming back here and we'll give you all the support you need!!! YOU GO GIRL!
