8 month post op pic in profile

Finally stopped procrastinating and took a pic will post before and afters latter this week. The pic is in my albums. So about me.
My surgery was Feb 9 /12. I was 265 prior to starting opti my weight today was 154. I am very pleased with my progress and am hoping tp lose about 10 more lbs total to allow for bounce back. This weight might seem high to some but I am 5' 7ish and even at my current weight have noticed I am very scrawny in places. My bra size ia now a 34 and I have bought my first size small shirts. I wear from size small to large depending on the shirt as I still remain a D cup.
This weekend my daughters father did not recognize me. He has not seen me since june and I ran into him in our hometown which is 3 hours away. It was quite funny.
I can eat most foods have discovered some new ones and even eaten some I know I shouldnt. Rather than beat myself up about it, my body does it for me sometimes, I forgive myself the indulgence and move on. No point adding additional stress to my already stressfilled life especially as I am an emotional eater.<br />
I cannot eat breads unless they are toasted to death. And as per my dieticians instructions have never eliminated them from my diet.<br />
Still would do it over in a heartbeat.

Stupid phone.
I also cannot eat processed foods or pork products. 2 drinks and I am intoxicated. I work out doing strength training 4 times a week. And yes I have dumped on foods and will probably do so again. And would still do it all over again.o

 LOVED hearing this!  Thank you so much for posting!!

 No problem.  I love my RNY and the jump start it gave me but realize the majority of the success iws my responsability.  So if I am going to indulge I work out a little longer.  I also take the time to reflect and recognize what my triggers are for emotional eating.  Believe me when you can no longer stuff your feelings down with food you have to face alot of hard truths about yourself and your life.  

And yet would still redo it all over again.

I think you look amazing congrats

 Thanks.  I also feel amazing.  Though I got called a "skinny" B*&$%. For the first time this weekend when I stood up for someone.   Weird didn't know who they were talking about.  The girl must have thought I was cracked when I gave her a hug and said "Thank You so much you just made my day"

It certainly ended the disagreement quickly.....

 Congrats

 Thank You....It's been a wild ride.

Dianna you look amazing!! Hope t touch base with you in Novemeber for that coffee night. I have'nt been able to make it to the kingston group for a few months because i have play practice on Tuesday nights. Love teh hair cut!! Mine is still falling out by the handfulls, i HAD extremely thick hair, now i would say it is more normal, i have probably lost 50-60 % of it. Hope it slows down soon

 I as well have not been able to make it since the first one I went to. Looking forward to coffee though for sure.  I also had extremely thick hair, my best friend joikes that mine is now normal as well.  Still losing it but the doctor said that is an indication I am still losing weight.  Not so sure how I feel about that because I am trying to stabalize.  I have some very boney parts now and believe me not from excessively trying to lose at this point.  The good news is I have tons of hair regrowth.  Asked the hairdresser if I would need root booster for volume and lift her response was that my hair was thick enough at the root to do it on it's own.  When I let it dry naturqally it sticks up everywhere, when i blow dry I become Einstein.  The hair straightener and I are now close personal friends.
