Can't believe it's been 2 years.  Still holding steady~ although I'd still like to lose those last dreaded 5 lbs!  I've been good about the weights, but I need to step up the cardio.   I'm trying to stop eating after 7pm to see if that helps get the last few lbs off!  Still so thrilled and  happy to be where I am today :)

One year and 5 months post surgery and still doing great.  I'm down to 148lbs mostly a size 8 but some size 6 pants which is very exciting!  My original goal was 145 so I'd love to actually hit that  number, but 148 seems to be where my body wants to stay.  I am not complaining!   At the Obesity Help seminar I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon, I would love to get a breast reduction and lift (not implants), but I think it's financially out of the question right now.  Besides that I am thrilled with everything, and still thrilled I made this decision!

I can't believe it's been almost a year already!~  I'm now down 74 lbs - weighing 151 lbs.  I still need to lose more, but I am a very comfortable size 8 which is thrilling!  It also wasn't painful putting on a bathing suit this summer which is a welcome change:)  Still so glad I made the decision to do this!

Shopping is fun again!!  The scale hasn't moved a lot in the last few months I'm down about 68 lbs, but I noticed my size 10 jeans were feeling a little loose, so just for fun I thought I'd go to Kohl's and try on some 8's not really thinking they'd fit.   WELL...I actually got a pair of size 6's!!!!!  Couldn't believe it, mostly the 8's fit, but I did buy a pair of black jeans in size 6, never would have believed it!  Gotta love the WLS!!!!!!!@@@!!

Down 65 pounds.  The weight is definitely coming off a lot slower, but I feel great and notice a difference with my clothes fitting better etc.  Doing good with lifting weights but need to do more cardio.  We haven't been walking as much as we were because the weather's been pretty bad.  I have to be careful though I am definitely hungrier at night, which was when I used to get into trouble with food before surgery!

Just had my 6 month follow up.  Down 62 lbs and everything is going great.  All my bloodwork has been fine, my cholesterol is actually low, my bp is fine with no meds and I'm not anemic for the first time in forever!  Hard to believe it's only been 6 months!

Down 56 pounds from before surgery, still doing everything about the same, but the weight is definitely coming off much slower.  I guess that's normal, but it is worrisome when you feel like you are able to eat more.  I guess I just have to remember it's only been 5 months and to just hang in there!

Had my 3 month follow up today with Dr. Pupkova.  Everything's going great, lost 52% of excess weight so far.  Down 50 lbs and feeling great.  I also had my first bloodwork done since surgery and my cholesterol and triglycerides are actually LOW!!   Been going to the gym and walking a lot which I think has helped the weight come off quickly...I'm thrilled with my decision to have this surgery and so happy with the results so far. 

I'm about 2 months post surgery and over my first plateau to reach 41 pounds lost.  It is getting a little more difficult though as I am wanting to eat more in the evenings again, which was always a bad time for me to begin with.  But luckily I'm not able to eat much and I'm walking 5 days a week for 3 miles each and have just joined a gym to get the weight lifting thing going.  Still figuring out what agrees with me and what doesn't, but I truly don't miss the food at all, I'm just so thrilled to be dropping the pounds!

Yeah!  I just hit the 30 lb mark, I can't believe how fast the weight is coming off and I don't feel hungry at all, quite the opposite, I need to make sure I'm eating enough.  I think I'm hungry and I eat a few bits and all of a sudden I'm full.  Gotta love it, what a new feeling!
