Yesterday I reached 30 pounds lost since surgery and 80 lost since my hospitalization in October. I feel GREAT. SO GLAD I DID THIS. I now find that eating is a chore. I have NO desire for food. I still can't wrap my mind around this on most days. I am so glad I didn't listen to those who said I was not ready or that I would be a failure. I am moving more and more each day. I take walks with my baby during the day to look at flowers. I am wearing clothes I almost threw away because it they were too small. Finally, today I got got on the scale and found that I am now out of the 280's! :) I have been enjoying life so much more now so I can't imagine how life will be the more weight I lose. We just had a failed adoption situation and I am taking it much better than I thought I would. For now, I am going to use the summer for my physical therapy and worry about adoption later. This is my time. :) (selfish huh?) My family is much happier now that I can participate in basically everything! I am really looking forward to our summer vacation this year. Thank you God for this surgery.

278.9I do have to add: this surgery is not the end all be all answer. You still have to control what you eat, have to exercise, take your meds, it is a tool and you have to make sure you are using it that way and not thinking it is the answer for everything. The fact that I am not obsessing about food makes it MUCH easier for me to make good choices.

Well done you. I'm so glad everything is working out for you and your whole family.
And I don't think taking some time to adjust and recover is selfish at all.
Great job. It's not easy, don't let anyone tell you it is.
Keep up the good work!
Woo Hoo!!!!! You go!!!!
...and not selfish at all!
Words I am happy to hear and you are right, it is a tool but you still have to make the good choices. Good for you!
Awesome! I'm proud of you! Don't know how I missed your last post - so sorry. But I do check.

Not a thing in the world selfish about it -- it's important to focus on yourself at times, and I'd say right now is one of them.

Thank you so much for the update! Go you! It is time to be 'selfish' - as you said, your family is happier because of it!

I am glad that you are doing so well. It is great to see your updates. Keep up the good work, it will pay off.
Yay Lisa! Bravo! 80 pounds and an absence of major hunger issues? That is HUGE!
I am excited & happy 4 u.
I'm glad to see you doing so well and to hear that you're more mobile and active with your family. Very excited for you. :)
Awesome! This is wonderful. I almost cried when I read all the things you can do now - no office chair, walking, smelling flowers, playing with kids, going to the pool and just a couple of months out and not craving/binging. I am so happy for you - this has been a long, tough journey but you are doing it! Keep on keepin' on!
Not only is 80lb a huge improvement to your health and clearly your happiness too but the way you are talking about changes to the way your lifestyle works moving more and eating less - this change is going to keep on going for you. It isn't a race, you keep on doing your best and I can't wait to see where you get to. Good for you!
