11 months post op and so much happening.
I got down to 131 but I fluctuate a good 4 lbs back and forth.  I am ok with that.  I dont want to lose anymore.  I am for sure trying to maintain.  I do still watch the scale everyday.  I know sugar makes me gain.  And yes I have sugar filled weeks, not days, weeks.  Sometimes I just need it.  I don't dump and I am careful on the amount of sugar.  It makes me burp and makes me sleepy.  I am addicted to cheez its still and must eat cheese enchiladas at least 3x a week.  Otherwise my diet is mushrooms and zucchini.  I still can't do meat.  Actually, I handled meat better early out than I do now.  I still eat alot of eggs but can only do one at a time.  Still no bread, pasta or rice....ever!!!!  Still haven't had soda.  I don't follow the rules I should.  Sometimes I feel I need to eat anything rather than be concerned about what I am eating.  I can go days on cheez its.  But finances have played a big part in how I eat as well.  My new favorite is popcorn shrimp.  No problem there.  Today I am craving avocados.

I am wearing a size 5 jrs jean, 4/6 misses pants and dresses.  size 6 panties..lol Like you needed to know that. The bra is the sad part.  I would say I am a 34B if I am lucky.  My skin has held up well on my face and arms but the boobs, belly and thighs are a sad sight.  But so worth it.  I have been moving and dealing with life trying to feel normal.  Which explains my absence from OH.  I had to step away and see if I could feel normal.  No I can't.  I love my collar bones and my ribs.  But sometimes I feel gaunt.  I love potato salad but it gives me that terrible gas u cant pass for days.  I do eat some form of sugar everyday.  a cookie, skittles, granola bar...something.  If I didn't I am afraid I would go crazy. 

But the hair...OMG.  I have yet to recover from the hair loss.  My hair is still so think it is horrible.  My everyday look is a thin ponytail.  I hate it.  I bruise easily and am covered in them.  I have no insurance right now so I can't follow up but I will asap.

Today for breakfast: tabasco cheez its    lunch: 1/3 cheese enchilada  snack: chewy granola bar   dinner: avocados and hopefully some shrimp.  I only drink milk water and sobe o life water, i love acai fruit punch.

So my RNY did everything I wanted it to do.  I taught me how to control myself and make better choices.  I do eat more veggies than I have in my life.  But my meat intake is very limited.  I am fit and slim and look good.  My mom saw me for the first time in August and said I was too thin she was in shock.  I like that response.
