So, it has been one year since I started my two week liquid diet.  WHAT HELL that was!  I am sitting at 171...my original goal was 170, but I'm thinking I might get closer to 150 with my exercise and the remaining malabsorption.

 

This was the best thing I've ever done for myself.  I am including pictures from a recent trip to Disney.  It was AMAZING being able to move around at my own pace and not feel helpless.

I read these boards every day.  I'm not anywhere close to perfect, but it's a marathon, not a sprint, right?!?

Fabulous, girly. You look awesome. angry

And I miss my boobs, too. I have gotten a lift and dream of implants, but I am used to not having them now. I may not get implants afterall.

Thanks! 

 

Did the lift make your clothes fit better?

Yes. Definitely. My only complaint with the lift only, is that many of us are left without fullness at the top. In a bra, I can push them up and they look round and full, but I cannot really go braless. They seem to fit my body now and at almost 5 years out I am used to having no boobs now. I'm also not sure I want to worry about having implants inside me. I will play it by ear since I cannot afford them right now anyway kiss
