<< Yes , 26 lbs. less does feel great! I have a long way to go,

but feel like I'm starting off on the right foot! My jeans have

gotten very baggy, which is exciting. I have not been measuring

myself and guess I should? I figured I'd know just by how my clothes

fit(or not). Also don't have a scale as of yet. I don't want to get

seduced into the daily weighing ritual, but that may be hard to

resist as the pounds come off.

Thanks again for the support. Can't wait 'til I'm over 100 lbs. down

like yourself!

D: You'll make it, girlfriend -- believe me! You already have a head

start on me! I had only lost a whopping 15 lbs at my 3 week post-op visit.

I was pretty worried... I had dropped 8 lbs before the surgery and was

prepared for this spectacular 20-30 lbs loss (which a lot of people seemed to

be reporting at 3 weeks out) and then I have only dropped 15 lbs! ROFL

Then, when I lost 60 I still couldn't believe it... I became a believer when

I lost about 80 lbs and then I've made it here to -107!!!!! :) LIFE IS

GREAT!!

All the best,
