Happy Shrinko de Mayo everyone!!! So, it's been 74 days since my surgery. (2.5 months, 10.5 weeks)... I am really feeling good! My mini-goal for today was to get down to 246.5. As of this AM, I was down to 245 even. Yippee! Weight loss of 32.5 pounds. I feel like for a change, something is different in my attitude. As much as I tried BS (before-surgery), I couldn't keep it off. Thank God for this tool - I finally feel like I'm going to be successful, and that I WANT to be successful. Definitely something to be happy about. My clothes are fitting loosely, sizes I've never worn before are fitting me. My confidence in many areas seems to have come back. My feet don't hurt nearly as much as they used to. I am actually running around on the soccer field with my daughter. Who would have thunk??? I'm excited to see people I haven't for a while. I LOVE not eating a huge helping for dinner! Lots and lots of little "wins"... I'm on the cusp of dropping into weight territory that I haven't been in for YEARS. Dennis commented last night, that he doesn't think he's ever known me at a lower weight - and sadly, I think he's right (we've known each other for over 10 years). But, how cool that he (and Lucia too) will get to know who I am at a much healther place!

The benefits I'm already seeing

It is wonderful isnt it! Do you know what else is great? Knowing that our men loved us as our fluffier selves. After I first met Tracey (over 2 years ago), I lost about 40 pounds for him. Which I think puts me right around where I am now...but then I gained 60 pounds back! WOO WEE...so this will be new for him too.
Your daughter must love all of your new energy!
What a great post! I'm so happy for you!!! My husband and child never knew me at this weight either and it's such a great feeling to be able to introduce this Tiffani to them :)
So nice to hear you are happy and doing well. I like hearing that you are happy with your decision. How nice to be excited again to run into people you haven't seen in a while! (I have been avoiding seeing people lately because of my weight) And how nice to be able to move quicker! You post today makes me even more anxious to get my band and get my life back! Thanks!
Thanks all - I love the support I get from ya'll! What a treat to have such a great on-line community in you women!!!
Way to go Sarah! You have all the right reasons going for you.
