Almost 14 months out and just got back from a cruise

May 15, 2011

I'm almost 14 months out and hardly come by the boards anymore but I'm down 200 pounds from my starting weight and I have 32 more pounds to go. I just got back from a Disney cruise last weekend and I lost five pounds on the cruise and ate what I wanted. I haven't had any problems with any particular food except cabbage. I eat what I want in small quantities and I always eat protein first. I'm amazed at what a wild ride it has been. However, with the wild ride come some issues such as looking like a mutant with all the excess skin on my thighs, arms, and my panni. I went to buy pants today at Jones New York and could have made it in to a 14 if it hadn't been for the excess skin. I need to win the Powerball so I can have some work done. I'm grateful that I had the surgery and can't imagine my life if I haven't had it - I probably would still not have a life. I wish I had done this years ago and could relive my 20's and early 30's prior to kids because I have the energy and really want to travel and party more. Oh well! Looking forward to a fun summer and our next Disney cruise next year. It was really fun to be on a cruise and wear pretty dresses and not have to worry about fitting in the bathrooms and stuff. Of course I have this problem now that when I see people that are like I was - super morbidly obese, I just want to go up to them and tell them they don't have to continue living like that but I never do. I figure it's none of my business and they have to get to that point themselves but I wish someone had really told me earlier about the DS and I had done it prior to having children and earlier in my life.
