(I know ì`ve been bad girl its been a long time since i don´t post here but i really wanted to share this day with you my texas family)   wooow i can´t believe how many good things happened this year. it was a year full of surprises. i had wls. i graduated from university i got new job. i got  my confidence back. i can be myself now without worring about my image. i `m a happier person now. i started this journey with 256 lbs. now 149. very happy about that. i`m not gonna lie. ithougth i would be at goal already. but now i realized that the important thing is to mantain the weight loss and try as healthy as possible to lose the 20 lbs.that i have left.  i wanna lose that weight in 2 months `cuz in april i`m goint to hoston to see my dr. (very exited about that)¨(.I`M  GONNA BE IN HOUSTON ON APRIL 8TH SO IF THERE IS SOME EVENT PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I`LL TRY TO MAKE IT.) the bad part about all this is that this is weigh loss issue is now getting on my nerves i`m getting nervious about not been able to lose the extra weight. and i have heard a lot of stories of gainig weigth and failing that i`m getting soo scared about....  i`m incrementing my exercise rutine this monday. i hope to have good results 4 the next month. I also wanted to take a minute to THANK YOU ALL. for the support and for the nice comments you made about my posts and my pics. and 4 encoraging me to keep on track. thanks so much i really  enjoy when you guys take the time to write a note . thanks againg. lol. the only thing  that i have left to say is: I LOVE MY RNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Congratulations! You've done an amazing job. I'm sure you'll lose that last 20 lbs, you've worked too hard not to finish this journey where you want to be. You can do it!!!

Hey sweetie!!  Congrats on your surgiversary--you've had quite a year!!  I think we're all afraid of gaining the weight back and failing and I think it's a daily battle that we can never take the focus off of.  That's what gets on my nerves--we can never stop thinking about it.  BUT so far we're winning, right??  Way to go, girl!  I'm so happy for you!!

Hugs,

Jeri

thanks jeri i`m sooo happy!  hope everything is going ok 4 u.
hugs

Congratulations!!!!!  You have done GREAT and you should be very proud of yourself.  That last 20 is hard because it doesn't take many extra calories every day to keep it on.  Upping your exercise will help.

I just saw Dr. Garth a couple of weeks ago for my 6 month visit and he told me if I wanted to get the last 30-40 pounds off I would HAVE to exercise, but I already knew that.

As for maintenance - well, even normal thin women have to watch what they eat so we're no different in that respect.  I have only known one woman who could eat anything she wanted in large quantities and never gain an ounce, so it is pretty rare.  The other thin women I know eat very modestly and carefully and if the indulge, then they cut back for a few days to make up for it.  The main thing is not let it go more than 5-10 pounds before it gets out of hand.

Mariana, wow already a year, it has flown by.  Congrats on your success sweetie.  The last 20 can still happen, stay focused on your choices and work your tool.  Just remember even if you don't get to that ultimate number, you are still a success.  Just believe in yourself and stay on top of the weight.......failure isn't an option for me I'll fight for the rest of my life to never, ever get back to obesity.

Again congrats!

Hugs,
