lulu2you 14 Posted April 13, 2012 It's been six months since my surgery. I have had two fills. I have lost 109 pounds. I have gained so much more than I thought possible. Sure, I still have the same stressors that comes with living, but being ashamed of my weight is no longer one of them. People tell me I have gotten taller. I'm not so sure about that, but I do stand prouder and more confidently with my head held tall. I have fun with clothing now, even though I do limit number of garments I buy since I don't wear them for very long. My daughters are having issues because I am no longer the fat momma they are familiar with. I told them to get over it and share my joy. I would have the surgery again without hesitation. I know it's not for everyone, but it works for me. I limit carbohydrates and always, always eat Protein first. Today is good. Looking forward to tomorrow.

kll724 3,055 Posted April 25, 2012 Congrats on your success!! You probably do appear taller since you lost all that weight. You are lucky that you can control your purchases. I love buying clothes at my favorite store. They keep sending me coupons and I feel I need to support their effort!! My closets are bursting, as I am at goal and now wearing things a lot longer than before. Good thing I have an understanding husband, My own grandson, says to not loose all my fluff, as he wants ot be able to cuddle it!! Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
