California, Wine Country, Before and After Pic Inside!

 

The last time I was in California I weighed 294 lbs. It was 3 months before my RNY surgery and I was TERRIFIED. I had lost 24 lbs on my pre op diet and tried my absolute best to live it up at 294 lbs! I just came home from a great trip to California with my mom. We went out to the central coast for my cousins wedding. 10 days in wine country?? YES PLEASE! Haha! It was so amazing to come back to that beautiful state in my new body. I am so proud of what I have achieved! It's an ongoing battle but it's well worth it! I have lost 170 lbs to date!

And you look adorable!  Congratulations!

Congratulations on all your success!

YOU INSPIRE ME!! THANKYOU!!

I have started following you on Instagram and see your food and wine pics....which are fab! I'm only 12 days out and I know I have a while to go, but how long of a while before I can enjoy more than 2 ounces of beans? And some wine!?!?

Aww thank you! It takes a little time. Don't worry...you will feel "normal" again. I'd say by 6months I was eating a good amount, but by a year I was like DAMN I can really eat!! (I mean it's still a small amount to others lol) As for the wine, my hospital said no alcohol for 6 months after surgery, I guess it depends on your surgeons plan. Don't worry! You will be enjoying delicious things very soon! :)

Thank you all so much!
