1yr. 1 great year! Surgery day April 21,2015 H.W. 373 S.W. 360 C.W. 225 My goal is to be a size 10 I'm a 14 right now. Hopefully I will get there one day but if not I'm ok with where I am now.

Before and after. 1yr

One year check in! I'm a few days late. What a year this has been. So glad I had this life changing surgery. H.w. 373 S.w 360 C.w. 225 Went from a size 28 to 13/14 4X shirt to XL I can't believe how much more energy I have. I still want to lose another 40 or at least be a size 10 but if I don't that's ok. Here are my before and after.

Mine has slowed way down. I can eat a lot on some days but other days I can't. If I'm honest it depends on the quality of food as to how much I can eat. Better quality = less food. I know this but some days I just want to snack. All in all I'm happy with where I am, of course I'd love to get to my qoal weight but I feel so much better I'm happy. H.W. 373 S.W. 360 C.W. 235 G.w. 170 Surgery day April 21

Mine has slowed down too. I'm hoping to kick start it up again next week. I'm going to hit the gym hard with a friend that just had her surgery in dec. H.w. 373 S.w. 360 C.w. 245

How's everyone doing?

Thank you!

I will definitely check out all of these & see if I can find a running store in my area. Thank you all for the input!

I'm wanting to start couch to 5k after the holidays. What are your favorite running shoes?

My mom, dad and my aunt (my mom's sister) she was my 2nd momma.

I still have a long way to go but wanted to share my progress. H.w. 373 S.w. 360 C.w.267 I haven't wore these jeans & shirt in 8 yrs, before I got pregnant. I finally feel back to my old self & now I'm ready for my NEW self!

I used Dr. Rutledge in Chattanooga. He's at memorial hospital.

My best friend is from Kingston. Good luck on your surgery. Have you had surgery yet? Yes I had surgery April 21, 2015.

I'm from Etowah. It's between knoxville and Chattanooga.

6mo check up today. 93lbs lost. Finally broke my stall this week! H.w. 373 S.w. 360 C.w. 267 Dr said I've got another 6-9mos of losing so I'm going to try to kick my exercise in gear. I've been slacking. :-( How's everyone doing?

Looking good girl.

6mo on the 21st down 83 lbs since surgery. Was hoping for 100 but I've had a stall for 3weeks now. Hopefully things will get back on track soon.

They are making my stomach hurt. I think I might be developing lactose intolerance. I go to my 6mo check up on Thursday so I'm going to talk to them about it. Thank you for the ideals, I've never thought of all that.

Thank you. I'll check them out. I just bought 2 cases of my premier protein, I've been using it since surgery and now bam it's making me sick. I just don't want to get back into old habits of eating. I can tell without protein I am hungry a lot more.

The last couple of weeks have been bad. My protein drinks are making me sick so I've stopped drink one every day. Just sipping on one, on and off for maybe 3 days. I think I'm becoming lactose intolerant. Now without my drinks my protein is hard to get in. So I'm hungry! I've not lost anything in 2 weeks. I feel derailed. Now I've got to find a drink I can tolerate. Ok my rant /complaining is over now. Thanks for listening.

This might be my next tattoo

I was up walking as soon as I could feel my legs again with my c-section and I was up walking a couple of hours after my RYN. I would say the gas pains are the worst about the RYN and the only thing that helps is walking that hall every hr. The worst thing about my csection were the staples. After you get the gas out its smooth sailing with the RYN. My pain tolerance might be better than others, I didn't even take a pain pill with the RYN but I did with a c-section. I think you'll feel better with the RYN.
