1 year anniversary!

[Lutasha 102]

Hi everyone!

Today marks one year since I got my lap band revised to gastric bypass.

I've lost a total of 87 lbs so far. 275 to 188. I am 5'5" so I still have about 30-35 lbs I'd like to lose.

I was very discouraged a few months ago, but I left my pity party behind and made sure I was sticking to eating well. This is not always easy!

I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon in late August. I have some sagging skin on my stomach, inner thighs, and arms but nothing too horrible.

Also of note, I have PCOS, which always made it harder to lose. The surgery has definitely helped with this and it seems to get easier to lose weight the more weight I lose. It seems counter-intuitive but I think the insulin resistance that often comes with PCOS has abated.

I'll attach a before and after pic.

Picture 3-me in the middle. I posted this on purpose so you can see that I will definitely need a Tummy Tuck.
