Well I refuse to call it a Surgi........but its been a year and things have gone well.  I consider myself lucky, never dump ever puke never get things stuck, eat what ever I want with a heavy focus on protein.  Yesterday was a family party and I had some chips and cake but nothing like the amount I would have eaten before. I felt normal and it was nice.  Ive gone from super morbidly obese to almosttttt normal....BMI chart can suck it though.  Ive drank about 10 protein shakes in the last year and my protein levels are good.  MY surgeon says all my labs are perfect and asked me to write up a testimonial for his new website and hes going to put me before and after pics up on it.  I was honored when he walked into my one year appt and said its stories like mine that makes him love what he does.  I feel freakin amazing.  I have been jogging and weight training and actually enjoying it.  I have lots of skin and struggling with it more than I thought I would.  I have aconsultation with a PS in August.  I am really feeling like I need to go with at least some plastics, I am only 26 and really feel like I need to "finish" this journey.  I still struggle with food and overeating.  I realize now more then ever this is a lifetime struggle and I take it day by day and weigh myself daily now that I am in maintenance.  I am working towards losing another 10-15 lbs but feel pretty happy now too.  Well first pic is not even at my heighest....maybe 290/300....my surgeon has the only pic of me at 317 and he is going to email it to me eventually.  The second pic was yesterday at a cookout weighing 158.6.

Thanks all!
