1 year and 13 days Surgiversary!

***pics on my profile***

I am late with my update. I had to back away from the computer because it was causing some issues at home. DH felt neglected and between FB, this site, and Youtube--yep I had a problem. Then June has been busy with my son graduating, being in my friends wedding and my birthday is coming up next Sunday. I've just been doing a bunch of stuff.

I also wanted to think out the "right" things to say about my journey. First off I want to thank the folks here that give solid, well thought out, researched, and true advice. I also want to thank the "ridiculous" folks for providing me with endless WTF! moments.

I started my journey at 247. Consult day 240, Day of slicing and dicing 233 I'm 5'5 small framed. Me and my Frankenguts get along great. She is a 40f and likes everything except eggs.(unless I put a bunch of cheddar in them). I eat tiny portions, I eat protein first, always 64+ oz h2o, I now eat some fruit and more green veggies. I eat chicken wings sometimes and sometimes those tiny cupcakes. HOWEVER, I was strict while losing. I did 600-800 a day, 60+ protein ( I may have to do 2 shakes a day as my labs keep showing a protein deficiency).

I did walking as exercise, I do pushups daily and arm weights. I had hella fat arms and now I have batwings and saggy thighs. I do want new boobies and I might get my bum plumped up a bit. Who knows.

I am glad I gave myself a healthier life. My family genetics showed I was going to die young if I stayed overweight. I watched my mother die and I did not want the same fate. I jog with my husband and do squats and pushups and stuff. I am having fun now.

Follow your plan folks! If you dont't have one, do what the successful folks here do.

 Thanks for sharing!!!  You look fabulous!!!

Thank you!

You look great and are an inspiration for me I'm a little heavier at 260 surgery weight 252 I'm only 5 5
I'm 3 months out and have only lost about 35 lbs I'm exercising and eating clean
Hoping that my weight loss will speed up soon

You look fantastic and if that is your son in the graduation photo, well ok you don't look old enough to have a son graduating. Also, it looks like you need smaller shorts They look to be dropping off of you.

Yes, that is my son. I was 21 when he was born and he is a good young man.

Those shorts are a small and I agree they are big. I threw on something quick so I could do my update!

Oh my, I just went and looked at you picture's for the first time.  You are gorgeous.  Wow, you really look great!    I understand the issues with DH about the computer, but I am glad you are still here.  This place would not be the same without you.

Thank you Elina!

I learned so much from you and other vets!

Congrats! And OMG about having a son graduating... you do not look old enough to have a 21 yr old soon. You wear your age well!

No my son grad from HS. He is 18. I was 21 when he was born, sorry about the confusion.
