Just had to share

Today is my 4 month surgiversary and I weighed in at an even 230 this morning. That's 70lbs GONE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm doing a happy dance. Plus I'm now officially wearing my Mother's clothes. This has been a major goal of mine since back in the Weigh****cher days. My clothes are now size 18 & 20's.

Somebody pinch me cause I must be dreaming. I'll be posting some current pictures tonight. I hope everyone has a great day - cause I know I am!

Iris,

You are such an inspiration!!!  I can only hope I am where you are in 4 months!!!!  What type of exercise do you do?  What eating plan do you follow? 

I am so excited for you!  Good job!!!
 

Your date is getting close. Good Luck!! As far as exercise - I walk 30 minutes a day -every day. I do push ups (not old school style though cause I'm just not there YET)  they started as wall push ups and I'm lowering them by increments - kitchen counter - bathroom counter and now down to a kitchen chair.

As far as an eating plan - I eat my protein first and aiming for 60 grams daily. Always 3 meals aday and 2 snacks. And at least 2 liters of water a day.

I love, love, love my RNY!!!

Congrats and don't worry about getting pinched... You'll be fine and still be 70 lbs lighter when you wake up.

You are moving along sooo well, Iris!  I have to tell you that I've loved your spirit during your entire journey.  Can't wait to see the photos.  {{{Hugs!}}}

That's wonderful news, Iris!  You are doing so well!  And your progress shows so much on your avatar! 

Speaking of being pinched, how goes things with the new love interest?  (There may be others... I am referring to the one who came over for dinner a couple of times about a month or so ago...)

Things are slow on the love life front. But that's OK too. Still talking to him on a regular basis. Now my Mom has decided that she should get in on fixing me up - who knows how that might turn out. She must have brought up the subject for eharmony at least 20 times this weekend.

thanks for asking.

Oh don't waste your money on EHarmony!  They kept matching me up with 80 year olds in Oregon!  LOL  Try PlentyofFish.com  I't free and you can chat and email for free as well.  I have met a lot of guys on that website and have dated some... am currently in a relationship that is going a bit slower than I would like it to that originated on that website.  Slow is good, however, as opposed to the alternatives I have experienced!  LOL  We just have to keep showing up.  I truly believe if it is meant to happen, God will see to it that it does!  Just keep showing up!

Congrats Iris, you are doing great!!!!

Congratulations Iris
If I could only get my mother to come to terms that yes I could wear her clothes now LOL
She has closets full of wonderful clothes.
I just know I could find the perfect outfit to wear to the UNC Christmas party.
I will have to work on her about that going over to see her tomorrow.
