  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

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.

Happy belated one year anniversary to you!!!

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
