settebee 11 Posted May 21, 2011 Ok, I'm really 8 months and 4 days out! Work has been crazy, so I'm just now posting my update! Eight months out and going strong! I've gone from a tight 26/28 to a size 14/16. I am now down to 210 this morning from my highest being 325, but my surgery weight was 312. I am enjoying life to the fullest! I can now run and keep up with my three year-old little boy. It's the best feeling ever! As far as eating, I still can only eat 4 oz at a time, and still eat my Protein first. I do on occasion treat myself; popcorn is my weakness! Oh! Some would consider it a "curse", but I still can not eat breads and Pasta or even ice cream. I really don't miss it much. I'm Italian and grew up with my far share of pasta and pasta dishes! Haha! I am getting married in three weeks, and crossing my fingers to be under 200 lbs! Eleven lbs in 21 days??! Maybe! As far as my final goal is to be 160 or 170, only 50-60 lbs to go!! Wish me luck! Thanks for listening! Suzette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsereno 2,525 Posted May 21, 2011 Suzette, Congrats on your healthier, happier life! I'm so glad you can keep up with your little boy and that you now have a much better chance to see him grow up and settle down. And a wedding on top of that good fortune! My advice for 21 lbs in 11 days is journal, journal, journal and work out 30-45 minutes every day. You can do it! Lynda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New & Improved Mel 1 Posted May 21, 2011 I love hearing these success stories!! It is amazing that we are all able to inspire each other with our journeys to a healthier life. (Before this surgery I couldn't inspire anybody!) Congratulations and 'You Go Girl' on your weight loss goal!! I bet shopping for you wedding dress was so much more fun than it would have been 8mths ago!! You were probably overwhelmed with choice instead of having to settle for whatever fitted!! Best wishes for you now, and for reaching your goal and for your special day xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
