70 pounds down and new pics

Hello everyone hope all is well for everyone. I posted some new pictures of myself before and 9 months post op. I am down 70 pounds and have about 35 more to go before I am FINALLY at 195. I just want out of the 200's and I will be fine. Trust me it hasn't been easy. Some days I can't even keep water down. I had a fill right after Thanksgiving and got .5cc's. Dr. Fitzpatrick said that was a good fill for the stage I'm in and trust me that was the best fill I have ever gotten. I could sure feel a difference. I lost 10 pounds the first two weeks and can now feel where my port is by just touching my stomach. I thought that was awesome lol. I do have to say this has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I had to give up food which was my best friend. I still struggle with it daily but know what I am doing is the best thing I could ever do for myself. Anyway if you want to see my pictures they are listed under my

name, Karlie. Take care everyone and have a Merry Christmas.Karlie __________________________________________________

Karlie, you

look gorgeous! Very pretty. But I have to ask, when you say “I had to

give up food” what do you mean? And losing 10 lbs in 2 weeks, be careful!

That seems awfully fast. Sorry but I worry. J You shouldn’t

have to give up food, just cut down on portions. Oh, and one more comment, I

love your dog in the photo!
