Jen K 20 Posted August 1, 2012 It is hard to believe that today I am 16 weeks post op and that I am actually posting under "Success Stories"! As of this morning I have lost 69 lbs and am officially in ONEDERLAND!!! To make things better, I slipped on for the first time in 20 years a pair of size 14 pants!!! I was fortunate to have had a quick, uneventful recovery. Weight dropped off quickly at first, but really has slowed down this past month and I am ok with that. As I was giving my youngest a piggy back ride around the house the other day, I had the realization that I have lost her in weight. I also thought "How did I carry this much weight around all day, every day? No wonder I never had energy". So glad i did this for me!!! 5 tonibugg, amykins, shellbell33081 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Izuri 428 Posted August 1, 2012 Yay!! I'm happy for you =D What a great feeling to have that all off your back! It's amazing how weight creeps up on us and we don't even realize what a ridiculous amount we were carrying around every day. Once we put it in perspective it's like holy crap - no wonder I was feeling horrible all the time! I am carrying around 2 people right now in weight! Keep up the great work, you deserve it!
