5 months - 77 pounds lighter :) The compliments are daily and it feels wonderful!
7 months - Today is July 16, 2007 and I weighed today - I am now 95 pounds lighter and I feel great!! 5 more pounds and I can join the century club !! I have gone from a size 22 to a size 11. I can wear my daughter's clothes 
Wow, I would have never guessed that I would feel this good about life, health, family, just everything in general. There is a total new outlook you take on life after this lifesaving surgery. My weight loss has become very slow, but that is to be expected and I am still positive about my progress. I am posting new pictures today and to be honest, I have taken lots and lots of pics lately - I used to hate to take pics before.
13 months - Today is January 16, 2008 - I am really bad about posting, I had my 1 year anniversary last month and I was 105 lbs lighter. Life is so different. I wear a size 8 and jeans are my favorite, you won't believe how many pair I have bought. Now my goal is to maintain, eat healthy, and exercise which was a resolution of mine this year. I am glad that God allowed me to experience being heavy because I can see how much discrimination is out there with heavy people compared to the way I am treated now. It is sad. My goal is to be an encouragement for others that may want to go down this road, I would do it over in a heartbeat. I even lost 2 more lbs in the last month, so now as of today I have lost 107 lbs. God is so good!!!
