Your story is very similar to mine. I had surg march 11. As of today, 9/26 I am down 100 lbs. I'm getting worried actually. I'm lucky if I get down 10 bites of food a day. Nothing tastes good. I sip water throughout the day at work snd it too makes me nauseous. I miss eating, honestly. But, I am only 47 and my dr told me if I didn't lose the weight I was going to hsve a stroke or heart attack. My BP was 200 / 110 pretty consistently and no mstter how dr tweaked my meds, we couldn't get it back down into a healthy range. It was my son who encouraged me the most. I'm happy I had the surgery. If I'd known then what I know now, not too sure I'd go through with it. Most days I feel grest. Honestly, I look amazing. Some days I have to do a double take in the mirror. People I haven't seen since before surgery don't recognise me. It is also awesome to be able to shop and not get depressed because nothing fits or it all looks terrible. And you're right about the feelings of embarrassment. I hated being the fat lady. Thanks for sharing your story. Honestly, it was like resding my own. And you do look incredible. The happiness and peace is in your smile. Keep up the great work snd keep us posted on your progress. Megan B / Washington state
