Five months post-op pics

Good morning! Saturday was my five month anniversary date, so I had a friend take my monthly photo ritual. :) I'm down 72 pounds and feeling great!

Everything is going really well. Challenges this month were feeling HUNGRY a couple days last week (I just rolled with it and focused on eating protein if I had to eat). Also, feeling run-down for awhile. I think that is stress-related, though, as I have a lot going on at home. I've just been focusing on getting my iron (I have been on supplements since before surgery, since my pre-op bloodwork showed negligible iron levels), vitamins, protein, etc.

Absolutely the coolest thing EVER that I've done for myself. :)

Julie, 5' 3", age 42. Starting weight: 263, Surgery weight: 255

Girl, you going to need to get you a new shirt, lol! You look fantastic, keep up the great work!

If you fear nothing, then you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?
