10 Month Update

Sep 17, 2010

haven't posted much in a while. Just hasn't been a whole lot to report and I've been a bit busy the last few weeks just running around, doing life stuff. I've been lurking though.

Speaking of living life... I'm now 10 months post op. I've officially reached my surgeon's goal weight, which was preeeetty damn exciting. I'm declaring myself to be in maintenance mode now. So, my highest weight was 317, my surgery weight was 301, and my current weight is 151 (at 5'9"). I now have the obligatory alarmists in a panic telling me not to lose any more weight. I just have to laugh at them because, really, I still have some rolls here & there and it's not like I'm emaciated, people. You can't please everyone.

Now for the good stuff: photowhoring! Since it's past Labor Day, the beaches at the Southern New Jersey shore are once again safe for the locals (well, DH & I are former-locals and most of our family still lives there). We took the babies to the beach for the first time. This means Mommy was on the beach in a bathing suit too. Without a t-shirt. And without being embarrased! Wow!

First, my much-hated before pic:


Now the babies, first time in the ocean (the woman in black is my best friend, I was shooting the photo):


Me, with a munchkin (many will recognize this as my current Facebook profile pic):






And from back at the beginning of the month, a more clothed shot with another munchkin:


Have I mentioned that I LOVE my DS?
