I honestly didn't know if I would ever make it here. I don't own a scale, on purpose. I weigh myself according to opportunities. So it's been a while. And I am finally under 200 pounds. I am down over 124 pounds! The anniversary of my surgery isn't until the end of next month, but I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions of my entire adult life. I am so grateful I could cry! I have not weighed under 200 pounds since my mid-20s. I never thought I would again. I feel like I have been given my life back!

Hit a HUGE milestone today, 300 pounds gone! Never thought I'd get here when I started this back in early 2014.

Enjoy your trip and PS I'll take the popcorn Chicago Mix please!!

I used Muscle Milk Light (vanilla Creme). I found that blending in a half a banana improved the flavor.

New question? Should I change my profile name to "the crazy pizza lady" ?

I put them in a bowl of cold Water and peel them.

Are you tracking Protein, carbs and calories? Getting at least 80 grams of Protein a day and making sure you eat protein first before anything else?
Are you moving and getting your heart rate up on a regular basis?
Are you mostly staying away from processed sugar and carbs?
Are you getting at least 64oz of no calorie/low calorie Fluid a day?
If you answered "no" to any or all of those questions, then try all of those and see how you do. You've lost the weight, you can lose the regain! You've got this!

In my State and with my employer...FMLA is the leave of absence (protecting your job while you are out). Short Term Disability is a way to get paid for time off (as long as you pay into it or have short term disability policy). You can take sick or vacation as well (actually you have to use any accrued time where I work).

10 months post Op 115 down

I love to work out so I'm always buying new shoes and cute work out cloths.

I started this process in June/2015 the surgery was August/2015. I went through so many different emotions, one of the largest hurdles was bored eating. My family didn't support me. The only 2 people that did was my husband and sister. Everyone else said it was the "easy way out". I couldn't play with my children. Go on field trips with them or anything like that. I would sit on the bench during the time at the park because I couldn't keep up with them with out feeling out of breath and embarrassing them. I Had to sleep downstairs sometimes because I couldn't make it up stairs. (Laziness) Coming to this decision was never an easy task, but ultimately the best decision I've made in a long time. I've hit stalls, have extra skin, boobs are non existent etc,   but I wouldn't change anything about this journey. Sure I can't eat like I did before but who would miss that when that's the reason I was overweight to begin with. There are days that I want a burger with the works lol, but I'm learning to curb my cravings or wants. I love the new me and I won't allow food to win ever again.

Just a little taste of the pass 2 years!!! There's still work to do for me!!

Full disclosure, I am not a medical professional. In my opinion though...your calories are way too low and so is your Protein. What are you eating? Must be all Protein shakes to have calories/protein numbers like that. Are you losing inches in this process?

I have been on this site for four years now, I am almost 4 years post op and I am in the maintenance phase. This site served as a huge resource of knowledge in the pre-op phase, a motivator and support system in the post op phase and now I am here to try and help others on their weight loss journey! I have only seen a few people from Texas and only a few in the Houston area!
