So...it's been Forever.....I am now 2 years out. March 6th, 2012 was my day!. I started at 291.1 now I'm down at 140 pounds. I started in a 26/28 in my skirts, now in a size 6/8. shirts were a 4X, now mostly smalls/mediums. I am doing great, I do worry all the time that I'm eating to much, eating the wrong things. I have fluctuated 10 pounds +/-, depending time of day and if I have had a bm, ( I know to much info) but its reality!!! So here is my most current picture...with all of my babies!!! this picture was taken a month ago. Compare that to my before pictures below.......WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!

10 Months Post Op
Jan 17, 2013
Time has flown!!!! I am down 140 pounds and have passed my original goal weight of 180 pounds. Now weighing in at 150 pounds and holding. I really haven't lost much more weight, i think I have hit my max weight loss, or at least I think so. I think I have lost inches but not weight...I started at 291.5 pounds now at 150 pounds. I was in 26/28 skirts, 4x shirts. now I'm in a size 10/12 shirts, and medium shirt. My boobs have shrunk and look rather pathetic, lol...but I have dropped 3 bra sizes.. I went from a size 11 underwear to a size 7. my feet have even shrunk. almost 2 sizes!! It is crazy how much has changed.
I really have to watch myself, i find myself craving something to munch on, i was never much of a sweets person but more of a salty crunch muncher.....so i always keep fresh broccoli and cauliflower to munch on and also go to pretzels for the crunch and salt...and limit to 15 pretzels ONLY.....or do a couple of saltines..I feel great!!! My hair is still really thin from lack of protien, but again still fine with me since it was so thick before.....i have people telling me now that i need to stop loosing weight that i look sick. but in my mind i'm still thinking I need to loose more, but really am happy with were I am at all the same. yeah i would like to get to a size 6 but for my height and body frame. Im comfortable with me now!! I do have spells of dizzy, lightheadedness, black out, but no one can figure out what is the cause, my low blood pressure, the low iron levels, they put me on folic acid because it was low as well. and upped my iron but i am still having the episodes.....maybe it' the new norm for me, i'm not sure.
hope all is well with everyone, have a great day...and happy loosing!

I woulod like to loose at least another 50 pounds, my goal weight was 180 lbs, and technically I only have less than 20 pounds to go, but a even 50 sounds ok. If I get there, yeah me, but if not I am not going to beat myself up either. I have come this far.
Well I hope this is a good comparison!!
