Trying to use my ipad for this, but it sucks with OH! I am so proud of you! I completely support the changes you made to your plan. I was always in the 800 range my last couple of months (and I never did 20 grams of carbs! Always close to 40, but nobody was talking about 20 grams 2 years ago....) you listened to your body and your body responded in kind. I think 6 pounds in a month where you are is awesome!!!! Frankly, you are awesome!
As for the body thing, give yourself a year for your body to adjust. I'm happier now with how I look than I was the first few months after reaching goal. I've filled out some and put bak on a little weight, but its good weight. I think it's good to wait on considering plastics. That said, I think you look adorable and you do have a butt in your new jeans! I'd happily give you some of my butt, if I could!
You so have this. I know you will be fine in maintenance. You just call "Goal" when you're ready. I'll be here to celebrate! Welcome to your real new life! This is where you'll really start to get to know yourself. You are a VSG champ! Big hug on your continued success!
Aww man, I just love you. You're the best! Thank you! I definitely know I will want a mommy makeover. It's total vanity, but I think vanity can be good for the soul especially after weight loss surgery. I'm still scared of maintenance, but I think I'll be ready to call goal in the next two months especially since I pretty much feel like I'm there outside of wanting to work on my muscle to fat ratio.
random but are you grumpy in the morning? If we have that in common, that is seriously uncanny. I am not fit for conversation for at least 30 minutes after getting up. My husband and I have lived together for seven years, and he still breaks the cardinal rule of living together in harmony with the morning beast that is deena. He has the nerve to actually try to carry on conversations with me that require more than grunts. He wakes up like sunshine. I will never understand that. Our daughter inherited my morning grumpiness too. Poor guy :)
