Three years ago today ..
I had my weight loss surgery. I've lost 168lbs and I feel terrific. It's not been a journey without some problems. I think I've leveled out and have my supplements tweaked to what I need. Some days I can hardly believe it's me I see in the mirror. To celebrate I bought a 'little black dress' today.
I have always wanted one and now I have one. Size 8, :woohoo:

just a little brag post.

:loveya:

Hang in there everyone ... stay healthy!

1. You are amazing!
We both know that WLS is not the "easy way out" -- that it takes serious commitment, even moreso than a "normal" diet because you can't just quit when it gets tough. I admire you greatly and I'm so pleased that you treated yourself to that dress! Congratulations! :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

you are truly the amazing one though :) Through it all you are here to bolster and support each of us.
I might just get brave enough to post a picture of me wearing the dress after we attend a wedding on the 29th.

5. That is so
fantastic ! You should brag on yourself, losing that much weight and being able to keep it off is
not easy for sure.
Congratulations and have fun wearing your black dress...post some pictures !
