Sparklette

I am back! It has been a while since I visited. I am just over a year out. Down 209 lbs. How is everyone doing?

Hey everyone. Its been a while since I have posted I just thought I would pop In and update. I miss rnytalk. I am 180 lbs down. In 8 months. I feel great! Lately I have been dustracted from my weighloss. I have a new boyfriend and a new job and I am very happy. I love my new life. My phone isn't letting me post pictures at the moment but I will put some up when I get on the computer. I hope everyone is doing well.

I was single when I had my surgery, I started dating about 3 months post op, about 100 lbs down at the time. I didn't tell any of the guys I had gone out with during this time, until I met my current boyfriend. We were talking over coffee and I felt comfortable enough with him to just tell him about it. and we've been together for three months now. My point is, tell them if you are comfortable with them, and if you want the relationship to continue, otherwise they get all head up about 'oh my god you're losing so much weight so fast are you anorexic?! I never see you eat." Like my boyfriend's friend's have been doing until I told them. Lol.

Before pictures. Now Pictures

Who's is your surgeon?

I am 6 months out and was recently diagnosed with anemia. I have been getting the shots also. It sucks.

I am wearing a size 18 jeans today.

I think that its great that ahe is aski g for horror stories. If you ignore the possible side effects how can you really say you are prepared for the surgery? I asked my surgeon about every detail that could go wrong. If you don't learn about the bad that couls happen I think that You are a fool and are doing this for all the wrong reasons.

Me too. 319 this morning. 155 lost

Um... what did I miss?

Awesome! Have they made you start walking yet?

Woo you got this!!

I was 319 when I got off of work this morning. I am so close to 200s I can almost taste it.

Alright, so I spliced two pics, one from the surgeon appointment two days before surgery (Right), and one from my Colorado Vacation, on July 1, 2013. About 75lbs, and little over 2 months. This is the first picture "below the neck" That I've posted.

I have a protein shakw when I wake up and I drink it throughout the morning. When I remember I eat somwthing amall for lunch. Like crackers turkey and cheese. For dinner I have a small portion of what my roommates make or whatever. I havw a glass of apple juice every morning. And a glass of milk in the evening. I don't work out like I should. I got promoted at work and have 45-50 hours of pretty strenuous labor a week.

Highest weight was 500. Surgery weight was 474.
