Since I started my journey back in the beginning of October 2007, I have lost a total of 192 lbs. Since the actual surgery I have lost 154 lbs.
Here is a before picture of me taken in October 2007.
And here is a picture taken on Christmas Eve 2008.
I won't say that it has been an easy road all the time, but the rewards are well worth it. The best thing of this whole year was being able to attend my daughter's wedding and not feel bad because of my size. I was able to dance the night away and not get winded like I would have a year before.
I did not do this all by myself. I am so blessed to have had the support of my friends and family during this time.
I am looking forward to this next month and hope I hit "my goal" of losing 200 lbs by the 28th of January. I do not see the doctor until the 10th of Feburary for my check-up, but will post on the 28th from my scale.
