It's been awhile xpost
I've been meaning to get back on here and update you guys on my progress but I've been so busy I just forgot. I had my surgery on September 9th so I'm almost 7 months out. I've lost 93lbs so far and I feel fantastic! I haven't had any real problems which I'm thankful for. At Easter dinner Sunday my grandmother kept remarking on how she wouldn't have known it was me if I hadn't said something 
and my best friend who I've known for about 20 years walked right by me! I didn't think I'd changed that much but apparently I have.
I reached onederland at the beginning of January and am currently 175 which is the smallest I've ever been. I went to Old Navy yesterday and bought a pair of size 14 capris and they're just a bit too big (a size 13 would be perfect there!). I have come to realize that every time I get new clothes, or new to me clothes :D I'm always a in between size. Frustrating but hey I'd rather be in between than a 26 again!
Got my 6 month labs back a few weeks ago and everything was fine except my vitamin D which was a little low so upped that. I need to get more protein and more water in and I'm working diligently on that!
When I had surgery I was in a relationship with a man I'd been with since July of 2005, we have since broken up and I am happily in a new relationship :D. I don't think my surgery or weight loss caused our break up but I think it made me confident enough to know that I could do better and I have! My new boyfriend is a wonderful man. He was obese himself a few years ago and has since lost 145lbs. Surprisingly he was able to do this without the benefit of surgery which hey more power to him! I couldn't do it and am very proud of him for being able to. He's joining the Army and will be leaving for basic on May 25th so I'm sure I'll be lurking around OH even more then since I'll be lonely!
Just wanted to update my OH friends on how I've been since my surgery.
