So its been a little over 7 months since I had gastric bypass surgery and I have lost 136lbs. I am almost half the person I was when I started this journey. I am very excited to actually have side by side pictures of myself from before surgery and today. I didn't realize how much of a difference there was until I actually put the 2 together.

Although this hasn't been the easiest thing to go through and do. I have no regrets. Maybe not doing it sooner for myself and my children. I am very happy at the results and outcome.

Not only do I feel better about me as a person, but I feel better in the health aspect of it. I have more energy and am able to do things more easily. However!!! Now when I run into stuff I can actually feel my bones and it hurts! HAHA.

I don't have a ton of issues with eating stuff, I've only gotten things stuck maybe 3-4 times since surgery, I have found I can't eat certain foods anymore which is fine, just shows me that it wasn't meant to be. -Raw Broccoli- NOT MY FRIEND, -RIBS- Also not my friend

I find that bread and pasta make me feel icky so I stay away from those.

All in all I am happy at where I am and how far I have come!
