I have not been in here in over 5 years. I forgot about it honestly. Just saying hello and keep up the good fight. 

I am almost 7 years post surgery and maintain between 190 and 195. My lowest has never been less than 188 lol.. Im comfortable with it and it beats the hell out of 307. Anyway im 5'7 so...a loose 12 tight 10.

Anybody that's not encouraged  I say keep doing your work and cookies are the devil! At least mine anyway. 

Still a bad blogger. I finally got under 200 lbs on September 25, 2012 after plateauing at 208 from July up until that point. All of a sudden I just started losing again. I really haven't been focused on it, and I know I am not eating enough, I do make a point to get my vitamins in though.  Still working on regrowing my hair, the shedding is not as bad but my hair is brittle and thinner than it was. My hair is my biggest gripe and the bat wings. I will up some photos new photos when I get a chance. I have no idea what I look like, I just have not had time to savor my weight loss. I do know I am wearing a 12 even though I really havent been shopping until recently. I was wearing my same clothes just putting on an elastic belt and jacking my pants up lol. I did have to buy bras, thankfully my cup size is the same, so I didnt lose my girls. I was hoping my love life would get a boost, that has not happened which is baffling to me, I look way better than I did without all the weight. Either way I have no regrets, and deuces to my BFF who stopped being my friend and my sister who no longer speaks to me either. I havent changed, its u babe!

I am a terrible blogger. Since I have time on my hands I'll update.  Everything is going well, excercise is still a challenge, I just dont like doing it.  I somehow managed not to go shopping, I've worn stretch pants all winter now they are too big and beading so I am now forced to go shopping. I found out my feet are a size smaller from an 11W to a 10, some 91/2s and in jeans i can fit a 14. I have not worn a 14 since I was probably 12 years old.

Food wise, I take my time, getting overly full makes me sleeeepy. I have good management on stopping right before that happens. I have snuck some stuff ie honey buns and snickers, but I really dont even like sweets anymore anyways. I actually crave water, olives (although fatty), salad and healthy foods. Things I would have never eaten before otherwise.

Scars are fading, surgeon says I am doing extremenly well, BMI is down to 34 from 48 :)

Focus right now is to try and tone up and get under 200, i have 22 pounds to go

4 weeks and a few days out. Still doing well. My one incision that refused to cooperate is closing slowly. I cannot eat anymore canned chicken or tuna. On Nov 30th follow up, i should be moving to the soft foods diet.  I cheated, i'm human, i paid for it (Reese Cups and a fork of cheesecake).  That dumping is no  joke, cold sweat, nausea beyond belief. Bet I wont do that again.

Weight had stalled about a week ago at 272 but now im 264 so I broke the plateau. I cannot wait to tone up and get in the gym, I want to look as "right" as possible
