Hello everyone.  It has been about 6 months since I posted.  I have now lost 155 pounds and feel great.  I am 26 lbs. away from my goal.  It is harder to lose the weight, but its still slowly coming off.  I am so grateful for how healthy I am.  I have heard horror stories and and learned that just a year ago, a girl I went to high school with had gastric bypass and a month later passed away.  I do not know details...but it made me very thankful for my health and very thankful I didn't have complications with surgery.
My body is still changing and it still changes with food sometimes.  Its just temperomental sometimes.  But I'm okay with that because I feel fantastic. 

I haven't been under 200 since before I got pregnant with my son, which was about 19 years ago!  It feels so good to be in the 100's! even if barely!!!
It motivates me to lose my last 38 lbs to get to my goal weight!
I'm so excited!!!  I bought a pair of size 16 jeans the other day!  woo hoo!!!

This is my 2nd summer after surgery, and I must say that I have enjoyed this summer better than last and wayyyy better than the summer before.  My weight loss has slowed down tremendously, but I am still losing.  I've lost 3 pounds in the past week!  Not sure what I'm doing different, but I'm not complaining.  In the past 3 years there has been so much going on with my life...I met a guy, we moved in together, I went from 232 lbs. to 341 lbs. in a span of about 18 months, I had WLS, lost 128 lbs., turned 40,my son graduated high school and moved out (in with his dad after he graduated), now he is trying to get going in college, he will be turning 18 in 4 days.  It has been a journey these past few years, and it seems to all be hitting me at once the changes in my life, and in my body.  I'm not quite sure how to handle them all.  But I will  come out stronger on the other end, I have faith. 
So that's my update.

Yesterday I broke a big plataeu.  I was sitting at 217 for 2 months.  What broke it was I had blood work drawn for our yearly health assessment at my work, and I couldn't eat past 7pm.  I usually eat at least one more time after 7pm sometimes 2 more times depending on how late I stay up.  I knew this might be an issue.  Now I know.  So my new rule is no eating past 7pm.  I guess this should have been a rule the whole time!  Anyway.  I am not complaining about my plataeu, its the biggest one I've had, usually I would hit one and stay there about a week, then get moving again.  Plus I've lost 125 lbs.  I am certainly not complaining.  I feel so much better.  I look so much better.  I need to update my pic because now I have shorter, lighter hair!  After all, it is summer time!  I will figure out how to post more pics later.
I have a class to go to so I will update more later.

Yesterday was my one year surgiversary.  I didn't feel much different considering I celebrated my big 4-0 birthday on the 21st.  But I will say that my weight has slowed down to about a pound to a pound and a half per week.  And that's good.  Its still coming off!  I feel good.  I look good.  I still have 60 pounds to lose, but I am well on my way to my goal!  A lot closer than I was a year ago!!!
I am thankful for my friends and family who have been so supportive over this past year!  I am thankful that I have not had any complications!  I have no regrets other than I wish I had done it a long time ago!
