Take a minute to........

[Mark01/05/2009]

All Post Oppers take a minute and think about yourself before your op and how far you have come since then........



All Pre Oppers take a minute to think about how amazing your life is going to be after your op and how your going to be able to live a life without limits.......



I think we should all be extremely proud of ourselves, whether you have lost 10 pounds or 10 stone, you have done something so incredible to change your life in a postive way.



As you can probably tell im feeling really jolly today and i think everyone else should aswell.

Wonderful post and wholeheartedly agree. I am only three and a half weeks post op and can already tell how far I have come.
No longer reliant on painkillers for my back, clothes feeling baggier and not craving sweet stuff.
Yes, I have come a long way in a short space of time.
Thank you Mark.
Hope you continue a lovely jolly day.

Thanks Mark, when I think hard about it in less than 3 months; i'm 3 dress sizes down, 51 lbs less, my bp has gone right down for the first time in years and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel

fantastic thread Mark. THank you.

I'm only 3 weeks post op and already im 27lb down, my face looks slimmer, my knees dont hurt as much as they did pre op and best of all I have no hunger or cravings.

I feel fabulous and cant wait for all the pre-oppers who are patiently waiting to be where I am now.

Thanks Mark i am nearly 10 and half stone down and spent the afternoon yesterday walking round the park with my little grandson and i could not do that before my op. I count myself very lucky to have this chance.

Lovely thread Mark, thank you for sharing. You have done REALLY well and have every right to be happy about it, GO YOU!!! And congrats to all you other losers, you are all stars, decreasing in size but increasing in joy. I am proud to say that from my biggest weight of 22.5 stone, I have lost half of me since I now weigh 11 stone 3lbs!!!! Now not all of that was from the surgery, I lost nearly 2 stone of that long before my bypass. However, it does make me feel like I have witnessed a miracle by shedding an entire person from my body. Never thought I would get to experience twice the joy in life with half the person I used to be!

Hugs all around and a big cheer of "WOOHOO" to you all,
Nic

Hmmm. It looks to me like you've already lost 7stone. 14 lbs in a stone x 7 = 98lbs . I guess you are one 1 pound from 100. That's a pretty awesome loss. Well done. Can't wait to get to that milestone too.

PS, really positive thread Mark and great weight loss too.

I feel the joy from all the posts. The bypass is one of the best things I've done for myself too. Enjoying a life not ruled by food.
