OKAY MY SEPTEMBER BABIES...WE ARE 10 MONTHS OUT!
Ditto on the jerky, but beef for me. I live on the stuff now. I don't do store-bought stuff. I buy high-quality gourmet stuff online, real juicy and moist, and I rely on it to get my protein in for the day. I highly recommend it. I usually eat it in the evenings, which is my snacky time. It's great because a little bit goes a long way because it takes so long to eat. And if I go out, I keep a little bit in a baggie in my purse in case I get hungry. Love love love my jerky!

I too will share: I had my 10 month checkup today. My weight is down to 177 from 365. I have moved from Super Morbidly Obese down through Morbidly Obese & Obese to simply Overweight. Who'd of thought "overweight" would be a great place to be?
I also freeze. It's 90+ outside and I'm in my office with an oversized sweatshirt on. I don't even sweat walking to my truck. The only time I really get warm is after I've been bundled under the covers for a few hours.
I watch my sugar grams, but I don't seem to dump when I go overboard. My nut says it may be because I have real food in my stomach to buffer the pure sugar. I wish I dumped though to keep me in check. Old habits die hard.
Fats do a number on me though. I have to be careful or the toilet becomes the only seat in the house for me!
TMI!!!
I'm looking at a hernia repair real soon. Since my abdominal wall is non-exsistent, my WLS will have a plastic surgeon in the operating room with him to help rebuild my abdominal wall and then do a tummy tuck. Not looking forward to another major surgery, but I am so excited at the thought of no more pain & no more looking pregnant without a super-duper, extra tight girdle.
Mentally & physically I'm pretty much on a high and I just had to share.
Today, I LOVE EVERYONE. Tomorrow may be a different story. So, take it while you can get it.
On my way ... to a better tomorrow.
