1 year

1 month

10 days

And I hit my goal!

Sept 21/15 - Oct 31/16

Lots of hard work.

Many sacrifices.

Lots of self talk.

Much dedication and self motivation.

But it was all worth it!

The time flew by and I can't believe I am where I am just 13 short months after my Gastric Bypass surgery.

I saved my own life and will thank myself everyday.

I wasted too much of my precious life and now I'm gonna make up for it!

Turning 41 in a couple days and I've never felt better, happier, healthier and of course lighter!!!

Thanks for all that have traveled along this journey with me!

I have been lately, yeah. I was really worried that I'd have loose skin (aka bat wings) so I've been concentrating on upper body lifting and I'm quite pleased with the results. I do have some damage, don't get me wrong, (especially when I bend over, you can see the loose wrinkly skin a bit) but overall I'm happy and proud of what I've accomplished :)

Thank you for the nice compliment!

I am going to continue on working on toning up more and maybe even lose a few more pounds :)

I think the hard part now is maintaining! Eeekkkk! LOL

Thank you!

Nope.

Well... not yet. It's on my mind but I'm going to try to work at least trying to tighten it up a little more and go from there.

I have abs!

Who knew!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
