Ok so I have lost over 60lbs since I began this journey last May. 51 of those have come since surgery on Dec 24.
It's crazy because I know I am much smaller, I've gone from a size 22 to a size 14/16 but I still look the same when I look in the mirror! And what's crazy is I never thought I looked that big before. HAH my body image is clearly off.
 
What I really wanted to document was the fact that I just went and picked up some stuff that I ordered from Lane Bryant. I'm proud to say that this order will be the last time I shop there. Even the size 14/16 stuff that I ordered is really too big for me! I walked past NY&Co on my way to LB and wondered when I will be able to fit into that stuff. I think I might be there! Granted it will be the biggest size they carry vs being the smallest size they carry at LB but hey, to have the joy of shopping in a regular size clothing store....PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Made a delicious smoothie tonight for a snack, and I didn't use any protein powder (GAG)
 
It tastes like a buckeye! HAHA for those of you who dont know what that is, it's like a reeses cup only shaped like a buckeye nut.
 
Makes two 2/3 cup servings:
 
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (I use trader joe's brand b/c it has the lowest sugar content that ive seen)
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup sugar free chocolate pudding (made ahead of time with skim milk)
1 TBSP of PB2 (PB2 is a peanut butter powder sold in the organic or health food aisle, it's awesome!!!)
 
Each 2/3 cup serving has 10.5 g of protein!
