fletcherette 203 Posted July 1, 2013 I'm officially 4 months out tomorrow and down nearly 50lbs-woot woot! Wanted to share this pic. The before was taken the day after surgery so I was def. more bloated then usual(lookin all sexy in my hospital gown with my drainage tube and pole) the after was taken last week. I was out hiking with my 1y.o german shepherd pup and outlasted her! I ended up having to cut the hike short cause I could tell she was dragging 11 getlownurse, JoiaRox, TheOldMeAgain and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fletcherette 203 Posted July 1, 2013 Wow you look great!! And your dog is so cute! Do you mind me asking how much you have til goal? You look like your at goal Thanks everyone. It does feel awesome to be active, I feel more alive now. I was just thinking today that if I never lost another pound I would be completely content. I may just be "average" sized now but I love it. I do however want to lose as much as possible. I remember when I first started researching this surgery someone saying that you should lose as much weight as possible in the beginning in case you have any regain. So to err on the safe side I'm going to try and lose another 10-20lbs. 1 AthinnerAmy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fletcherette 203 Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks all my hope is that in posting this in the wake of the Dr. Luna scandal people who are scheduled with Dr. Garcia will feel confident in their decision. I'd hate for the recent drama to stop people from making the step to do something that can be a positive life change. 4 Annie04, mimimcd, Thenewmrssmith and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
