Anniversary Post
Ok. I'm a little slow, I just realized everyone was posting their anniversary posts. 
Lets see. I'm not at goal. (Definitely not now that I'm preg) but even before wasn't at goal. Stil have a way to go before I get there. About 40 pounds more before I get there! But I don't gain. (Besides being pregnant) I am still loosing but sooooo slowly. But better down a pound in a month than up. 
At any rate, after the baby I will be set. Nothing like seeing the pounds go up on the scale to really whip your mind into weight loss mode. So once baby is here its gone. THEN I can think about plastic surgery. I had been putting it off and I think because I just wasn't sure if I wanted any more children. Sooo if I were to get pregnant. (which I did) then I wouldn't have to worry about the effects after surgery. But financially its all scary. After 3 years I am still not quite where i want to be. It sure feels awesome to be normal again though, to be able to live life like a normal person and not have to worry about someone looking at me and thinking or saying horrible things! Going to the movies or anywhere for that matter and being comfortable and fitting in! Its the best. I'm so glad I had my surgery thats for sure. I've been blessed with never having any bad effects from it. Only good ones. I still dump if I go overboard on eating too much at one time (like I just did with my steamed dumplings) But even "overboard" isn't anything an normal person would consider a normal helping. Which is a very awesome plus regarding this surgery! People at work still swear I eat like a bird. I wish! I still dump if I eat more than 10 grams of sugar. I eat sugar. Period. Bad me but I can't help it. Well I can I swear since I've been pregnant I've been craving ice cream!!!! Ice cream definitely makes me dump so its been little spoon fulls of ben an Jerry's here and there and its been heavenly! LOL! I don't fret much when I eat sugar. I eat a little and thats that. What I am more concerned with would be eating too many small meals during the day. That I have to watch. At any rate... Running out of things to write. Baby brain and all that LOL I thank God for this surgery and the blessings it gave me. and hope I get to goal one day If not thats ok too I suppose

Congratulations, Elizabeth, on your third Birthday and on your pregnancy! I wish you all the best life has to offer! You were smart to postpone plastics until after the birth.
My plastic surgery made almost as much to increase my self esteem as the WLS did. I look down at my non-existent pot belly and jump for joy each day! I have NEVER not had a pot since I was young.
I lost 120 pounds and got to just under 200 pounds. I am 5'7" tall. People tell me I look great and I can eat pretty much what I want and don't lose or gain so I am a happy camper. It is such a relief NOT to have to watch every bite any more. Although I did cross addict and become an alcoholic after WLS, thank God I found AA and am now on the road to a sober, long healthy life. Never had an alcohol issue before WLS so it was a great shock and took me a while to admit I had a problem. Sheesh! I guess we all have issues!
Again, congrats and good luc****ep posting!
Hugs,
Karen
Thanks guys! You know about the drinking thing...I noticed that I drank more after surgery as well. I was almost becoming a champagne junkie. Its scary! I'm so glad you were able to find help before it really got a hold of you. Way to go! Of course the prgenancy stopped all my drinking. But before that...I went a little overboard on the champagne once and thought I was literally going to die! I almost decided to go to the hospital-thought I was having a heart attack. I guess it was the worst dump I ever had. SO after that scare it stopped me from carrying on like I was. I had a little every now and again in MUCH smaller amounts. Before pregnancy I got down to about 209 and thats about it. I knew I would loose more but the loosing was SOOOOO slow. Didn't gain which was great! And it is aweosme that we don't have to worry so much about gobbling down everything since our tummies only hold so much. That will always be such a blessing to me. After this baby I am going to really try to get back to the basics and watch my sugar and such. I want to loose as much as I can before I get the plastics. Well best wishes you guys! ((Hugs))
