15 Month Update
Hi all! It's been 15 mo's since surgery and I've lost 140lbs. Started out at 340 am now 199. I've been 199 now for about 4 months. Probably because after a year my tummy got where it could take quite a bit more food. I can eat pretty much a "normal" portion now, although still a bit smaller than most peoples "normal". I also find myself eating ALL the time!! Lately it's been anything and everything I want without regard to carbs or gas issues (of which can be abnormally huge amounts and inhumanly stinky!! - if I don'****ch the carbs and sugar.)
I've been enjoying feeling "skinny" and people telling me how skinny I am. Also had something to do with why I've become complacent before hitting goal. I still have about 40lbs to go - then a LBL! I'm already starting to investigate money and doctors for that.
I lost 140lbs but not mu*****lothing sizes. I was a 26/28 before surgery. Now I am a 20/22 bottom and an 18/20 top. I think it is because of my huge panni. I will probably lose several sizes when it comes off in PS later. (Please, please, please......!!)
The first few months were really tough but the entire thing has been WONDERFUL!!! Best choice I EVER made. Protein and water were the hardest things at first. Now it's keeping up on my vitamin supply - ordering soon enough and not running out.
I also have a boyfriend now!! We've been seeing each other almost 6 months and it seems to be heading in all the right directions. My friends and son say I've changed a lot. My personality, energy and "go gett'em" attitude. LOL, I thnk I am actually more like myself, like I was before I got MO!!. They just didn't know me then. I love all the energy I have now and I can WALK!! yay! I can stand, move, work etc. I don't have to sit down all the time - I can even breath! It's awesome.
I am getting myself back on the DS band wagon - determined to lose this last 40lbs. So I'm back to my faithful DS family and soooo glad to see so many that I remember!
If you have any questions - feel free to ask!! :)
