PEEK-A-BOO!!! I SEEEEE YOU....!!!
And YOU see TEN, 10, THAT'S RIGHT, T-E-N, less pounds of me!!!
Uh-huh, uh-huh!!! I did it!!!! I reached my self-imposed goal of losing 10 pounds before I left for the beach!!!!
I got up at 4:30 a.m., hopped on the scale, saw the number, and went back to bed!!! LOL!!!!
So take it from me, at almost 4 years post-op, it's STILL possible to lose weight. However, don't be fooled - and take this as a FRIENDLY bit of guidance/advice - make the most of your wls window!!!! Because once that window closes, it's much harder to lose weight!!
Darla and I were talking this a.m., and while most RNY patients are told the "window" exists until about 18 months post-op, we both found, especially me, due to some hormonal issues, that our windows slammed shut at about 9 months out! Not fun, especially when you feel cheated out of another 6-9 months!!
It was such a nice feeling to put on a pair of jean shorts this a.m. and button them EASILY. All of my clothes fit, but it's nice to have a little wiggle room, you know?
I just got back from the grocery store, where I stocked up on Greek yogurt and protein drinks for vacay. The rest, I'll just have to use my common sense and put in God's hands!!!!!
I was so excited that I started texting people first thing this a.m.!!!! LOL!!!
Thanks for sharing with me!!
Hugs,
Tia

WOW! 10 Pounds! I am so excited for you!!!!!! All of the activity at the Ocean will surprise you too I think! Have fun and enjoy!
P.S. I am now waiting for the paperwork to make it all official. As long as I hit no show stoppers, I should be working again by the 27th. The only drawback is that billings are on a monthly basis. So it will be a bit of a lag before I have positive cash flow again.
