Surgiversary Bay BEE 1year has gone by Praise the LORD!!
Well its official. I year ago today I was recovering from my revision from a 22 year old very failed VBG to the DS. I have lost 142 lbs and i am 59 lbs from my goal of 153.(My PCP says thats too much, but 153 seems like a lot to me now... LOL) I started at 354 lbs and today i weigh 212. 12.1 lbs from "one-derville". My next mini goal
Praise Break:

I want to lose 201 lbs when I am finished.
Not too shabby for a "golden girl" revision.
I am 54.
I am the smallest i have ever been in my adult life. I weighed in the 220's when i was in high school 40 years ago. I have gone from a womans size 32/34 to an 18. No insulin. blood pressure meds, c pap anymore.
Unfortunately time and gravity has done much damage. The "girls went from a 48DD to a very flat,floppy 40C. My body looks real weird with the shelves (for want of a better description) of fat and "shar-pei" looking skin. Also my incision healed weird so I have a lop sided muffin top panni.There is a horizontal fold that doesn't meet where the vertical cut is. Sorry to whine but it really looks strange. My face has dropped and I look haggard. I always thought my fat face was kinda cute/pleasant. (sigh)Please understand, I am grateful for losing the weight. I guess I will have to get over the other stuff.
I do not have buyers remorse. I don't have poo issues and gas only bothers me when I mess with white flour. I wish I had this tool instead of the VBG but I am grateful for this second chance.
I do my DS. It is very friendly to African american culture (soul food). I do not feel deprived at all. I love my dreamfields mac and cheese, cheesey grits, pork (bacon oh yeah) in every form etc. I am grateful for all the encouragement and wisdom from my BAF Fam.
