Xpost: one year later
on 6/3/13 10:33 am
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?!?

Vanity complaint...I miss my BOOBS:(
Still totally worth it:)
Fabulous, girly. You look awesome.
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.

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
