[Carrie's Journey 130]

Since not many people know about my surgery, I had to come on here to share about my surgerversary!

I was a low BMI'er and self-paid a ton of money and this has been the best decision of my life. My high weight was 220, day of surgery 190, current weight 140. I'm 5'5". I'm trying to take off the last couple of pounds but I'm super happy at 140 and so is my surgeon. My bloodwork was awesome and I'm feeling great.

Here are some pictures. Even one with the fabulous Dr. Cirangle!

You look great...I have about the same starting weight as you and I hope I look as good as you!

I have similar states, 222 at day of surgery, Im 5'4 and have lost 87 pounds bringing me to my current weight of 155. Sometimes I feel pretty comfy at this weight but I know I should lose another 20 (per my surgeon) so seeing your success is a good motivator for me. Thanks.

p.s. You are cute as a button too Great job, congrats.

You look great! You don't even have batwings! I was 5'6" and 240 to start. I would love to see 140 again.

Isn't he worth the money? I'd recommend him to anyone. No post op complications and highly successful weight loss. Great surgeon!

You guys are all too kind. I never imagined I could weigh 140. It was so much fun seeing the scale when I was losing. Maintaining can be difficult if you don't watch it. I weigh every day and if I see the number go up, the carbs go down. Those damn carbs. Still hard to conquer and I will probably always be addicted to them. When I cut them out, I'm in control again. I still eat too fast. Restaurants are not fun.

Some of my favorite foods:

ProtiDiet hot cocoa every morning mixed with instant coffee and sugar free raspberry Syrup

nectar Protein shakes

Light & Fit greek yogurt.

Apples (extremely filling)

Quest bars, although they don't seem to be as filling anymore. I use them now as a substitute for crap food.

Nuts, although they are totally a slider for me.

"Bread pudding" made out of an egg custard and cottage cheese.

banana nut Protein muffins are to die for.

Hungry Girl's turkey veggie meatloaf muffins.

Grilled cheese rollups (lunch meat rolled around string cheese and grilled). Fave is ham and cheddar.

Fave work lunch is chicken Caesar salad.

There's more that I can't think of...
