9 months post opt and I'm am down 127lbs - 100 of which is post op!  100 FREAKING POUNDS!!!!  Whoo-Hoo!!!  I know truly have to work for each pound and have gotten a little slack.....by that I mean I tracked my food a couple of days ago and almost had a fit when I saw that I'd had an 1100calorie day!  I know, 1200 is the daily recommended amount but I was pissed b/c I'd eaten so many high calorie foods that didn't have a lot of protein.  And to top it all off - I'd eaten small amounts so it wasn't 1100 due to the amount I was eating.  Some of it was bad - Dorities and some reduced fat chocolate chip cookies, but some of it wasn't - fruit!  a sandwich made with 100 cal bread (that's 100 cal for both pieces) and the turkey sandwich meat.  but I gues when you put 3 slices of meat at about 50cal/slice, it will add up.  Looking at the big picture, 1100 cals is nothing compared to what I used to eat but it still freaks me out!  I can easily eat 8oz of food at one sitting - 3 - 4 oz of protein and then the rest made up of side items.  That concerns me when I remember that it wasn't that long ago I could only eat a few bites and was stuffed. 

Some tops I have are now a 1x or 18-20.  I bought a dress the other day that was an 18-20!!!! But I realize part of that was due to the material b/c I tried on another less forgiving material and had to get a 22.  It's absolutely amazing to me!  My poor boobies!  I'm currently in a 44D from a 54DDD and the 44D is starting to feel a little less supportive so I guess I need to go down to a 42 or 4.  I tried on my niece's bra (a 38D) and while I was overflowing the cups, the bra did fit around the waist , albeit a little snugly.  Don't want the cup to go down any more!!!

Life is good!  I'm happy and I hope to stay happy with my decision in the years to come!
