Yesterday was my 4 year Surgiversary!!!!

I can't believe that it has already been 4 years.  I still look in the mirror and am amazed at how far I have come.  I did struggle about a year or so ago and had put back on 50 pounds, but I have since taken that OFF, plus some.  My lowest weight after my surgery was 185, but in the past few months I have really been working it hard and I am down to 175!!!!!  I am wearing size 10 pants and dresses and it feels wonderful....

I will be celebrating my 40th birthday next month and feel great about it!!!!  I am a grandma of a 2-1/2 year old and have another one due before I even turn 40!!!!  It amazes my friends, family and everyone I talk to about how successful I have been with this surgery....

I am still considering plastics, but when I put that 50 pounds back on before I decided it wasn't for me if I was gonna be going up and down like that.  So I have decided that 175 is my high mark... and as long as I stay there or below for the next 2 years, then I will go in for my consult and get something done about my belly skin... I also SERIOUSLY want my boobies done (so does hubby, lol)..... I Have gone from a 42 C down to a 36 A.... This is just not good, especially when they are little and all saggy.... LOL....

So to all you that have supported me through my journey THANKS... and to all the newbies.... It is well worth the ride!!!!  I am sooo sooo thankful that I took the plunge and did this.... It truly saved my life...

HUGS to ALL,

 

 
Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary. It sounds like you are doing a fantastic job. 
Enjoy.

Thanks Amy!  

HUGS,

 

Thanks so much for sharing.  It's good to hear that after a regain you were still able to work your pouch and lose that weight and more.  Congrats!

Thanks so much!  It has definitely been a ride, and now I finally KNOW what I need to do to keep the weight from coming back on.... LOL

HUGS,

 

HaPpY SuRgAvErSaRY!
Thanks for the encouragement!
I am just one year out and have been off track for a few months now! Haven't regained any weight but I am not losing either. You have inspired me with your post.
Even with those little saggy puppies and all. LOL

I am glad that I was able to inspire you.  My weight loss stopped at around a year too, but I keep working it.  Seems like it is just a couple pounds a month that comes off now, but at least it is still working it's way down and not going up.  Just keep true to your pouch and don't fall back into old habits and get discouraged.  Better to hold the same than to go back to where you were.  Good Luck and keep up the good work!!!

HUGS,

 

Happy Anniversary!!!  As I was logging on today it hit me that yesterday was my 3rd anniversary!  Funny how we're so busy with life that those things fly by now.

Congrats on getting the 50+ off, that's an accomplishment this far out I KNOW, I've gained about 25 and am getting serious about getting those off now too!
