Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 Hi everybody! Just a quick update. As of today, I am 4 months post-op. I have lost 57 pounds (a little less than what I'd like, but I'm happy nonetheless!). On surgery date, I weighed 307 pounds. Today, I weigh 250. Boy, I was sure hoping to be able to move that dreaded bar at the doc's office one notch down, but I guess that's probably less than a week away! I've lost 29 inches total in my chest, waist, hips, upper arms and thighs. I went to the store this week to buy a Christmas blouse--I was quite shocked to find out that I was able to wear a blouse 4 sizes smaller than pre-op! I feel absolutely fantastic! I have so much more energy and am able to move around so much better. As so many people have said, it's really the little things that seem to mean so much. I can fit into restaurant booths, airline seats, etc. It is so heartening when people are shocked by my changes--and it happens almost every day! There is no doubt that this is one of the best decisions I've ever made! Have a great weekend everybody!
