7 months out

i have learned so much in the past 7 months! i havent posted much but i wanted to share a little. i have lost 100 pounds now, almost without trying! what a blessing! i have learned to live a totally different lifestyle, how to count the nutritional value in everything i put in my mouth. it amazes me the things i used to eat! LOL. i am a totally different person now and i feel different too. i have started taking vitamine b 1 because i have a deficincy. its amazing what that 1 little vitamine does!!! i thought i was losing my mind, literaly. apparently it can affect your thinking and your energy levels. i found out i cant tolerate whey products or milk products, but i have adjusted my diet to deal with those things. i am a survivor and i have a great chance to have a life now!! i played basketball with my 3 boys the other day! i feel so blessed! and i appreciate all of you on this board. in the past i have felt left out, had spats with people on here. its all a part of life and learning. i am glad i never gave you-all up. were else would i be able to find out all the information on this site? have a blessed day! susanne

Wow Susanne, A hundred pounds without evening trying. Now that's a testimony in itself. I am so proud of you and only hope I can attain your kind of success. It's an amazing ride. I remember posting to you the night before your surgery and you were so nervous. I guess now, my question is this........Was it worth it? Everyone says it is. I am now the one with the jitters and nerves. Keep me in your prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Lots of Love Kathy-15 days & counting

Hi Susanne...Glad to see you back and so much healthier. You are looking great, Sweetie. We all go through alot of emotions during this process...I know I have but I have never been happier. This surgery has been a life saver for me. I am down 80 pounds since December 15 and I have an entirely new life. Hope to hear from you soon. Hugs, Betsy
