3 years out, photos! X posted!
It has been way way too long! [Edit Post]
posted 12 minutes ago
I have not been on OH in what feels like years, and maybe it has been! I went back to school to be a nurse, since I had such a great experience with my nurses and wanted to make others feel the way they made me feel. It has been a crazy year, I did an accelerated BS to BSN program and I graduated a week and a half ago so I FINALLY have a life again! Now all I have to do is pass the boards!
As far as weight goes I haven't gained anything back thankfully, but I still would like to loose 12 pounds! I've been kicking it at 154 for ever, 142 was always my goal weight and still is but I'm happy most of the time! Now that I have some free time I am trying to get back to the gym and eating better! Sadly when you're 3 years out like myself I can eat about anything. Of course I can't eat AS much as i used to, but I can certainly eat a whole lot more than when I first had surgery! People seeing me eat for the first time would probably assume that I'm "normal" which I am to an extent :) I still haven't had any problems, I am one lucky girl. So here are some pics that have been taken over the last year. I hope to stop by here more often so I can be motivated to get these last 12 off!!
This is at my best friends wedding last October!
And this is me in a cool shirt!
And here I am on Christmas showing off the shirt my bro sent me from England!
And I'm just showing off these lovely shoes I wish I owned!
And this is obviously halloween where I bravely dressed up as a single lady, in which I look pretty big compared to my teeny asian friends!
And lastly the most recent pics from my graduation party last week!

Wow you look great!
I know how you feel about having surgery changing your ideas for your future. I always considered pre-med but gave that up. Now I have just graduated in Economics of all things and am considering giving up Econ Ph.D. to go back and fulfill pre-med requirements to either go into MD, DO, or PA program. I haven't yet had surgery, but the experience so far is just so *cool*! Congrats to you!
I too have a lot of Asian friends and I will never not look heavy compared to them! But I also look extremely tall at 5'8 versus maybe 5'!!
