In three months I have....
...lost 50 lbs on the nose
...started dance classes
...playing chase with my kids in the park
...gone from a size 24/26 to a size 16
...stood up for myself in a situation where I would have shied away before.
It's amazing.

The way you feel after you've had your surgery is amazing isn't it. There's no way to really put it into words, you have to experience it to really understand.
Congrats! The ride just began, hang on tight!

You go girl!
I think standing strong enough to go through with this surgery, builds our characters no end.

god i hope so i'm so depressed right now i can barely leave my house. I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling so badly; are you in the pre-op mode or considering surgery? Believe me, we all know how badly you must be feeling; anyone who has had the morbid obesity problem knows it all too well. Get out for a walk in the sunshine; it'll make you feel better, I promise.

Okay. Not trying to rain on parades or be in any way negative. Just trying to interject a bit of reality.
"Three months" is 12 weeks, or 84 days. What is this in comparison to a LIFETIME? You know, like 90 years? 90 years times 12 months = 1080 months time 4.3 weeks = 4644 weeks. So, 12 week out of 4644 weeks? Meh. Tiny thing. Moments in the course of a lifetime.
It's lovely that you have dropped this weight this fast. You need to understand that what counts is the LONG TERM. So do the people who read this excited newbie news. It's all relative

Sitting here at 2.5 weeks out and definitely not feeling my best (will be getting scoped Monday for possible stricture), being happy and healthier at 3 months is a big goal for me! Thanks for the inspiration!
