I have not been in here in over 5 years. I forgot about it honestly. Just saying hello and keep up the good fight.
I am almost 7 years post surgery and maintain between 190 and 195. My lowest has never been less than 188 lol.. Im comfortable with it and it beats the hell out of 307. Anyway im 5'7 so...a loose 12 tight 10.
Anybody that's not encouraged I say keep doing your work and cookies are the devil! At least mine anyway.
Surgiversary next week!

6 MONTHS OUT

I am a terrible blogger. Since I have time on my hands I'll update. Everything is going well, excercise is still a challenge, I just dont like doing it. I somehow managed not to go shopping, I've worn stretch pants all winter now they are too big and beading so I am now forced to go shopping. I found out my feet are a size smaller from an 11W to a 10, some 91/2s and in jeans i can fit a 14. I have not worn a 14 since I was probably 12 years old.
Food wise, I take my time, getting overly full makes me sleeeepy. I have good management on stopping right before that happens. I have snuck some stuff ie honey buns and snickers, but I really dont even like sweets anymore anyways. I actually crave water, olives (although fatty), salad and healthy foods. Things I would have never eaten before otherwise.
Scars are fading, surgeon says I am doing extremenly well, BMI is down to 34 from 48 :)
Focus right now is to try and tone up and get under 200, i have 22 pounds to go
1 Month Out

4 weeks and a few days out. Still doing well. My one incision that refused to cooperate is closing slowly. I cannot eat anymore canned chicken or tuna. On Nov 30th follow up, i should be moving to the soft foods diet. I cheated, i'm human, i paid for it (Reese Cups and a fork of cheesecake). That dumping is no joke, cold sweat, nausea beyond belief. Bet I wont do that again.
Weight had stalled about a week ago at 272 but now im 264 so I broke the plateau. I cannot wait to tone up and get in the gym, I want to look as "right" as possible
