You update your weight under my surgery.

I'm on FB, but I don't update anything about my surgery on there. I post more on my Instagram as far as pictures of my food, and what I look like, etc.

I didn't make my goal of 220, however I did make my initial goal, so there's something positive! I finish at 226.4. Thanks for doing this!

I find that for me, I don't count carbs. I track my eating on MyFitnessPal and monitor my protein and keep my cals under 1000 (not hard to do TBH). I actually don't eat carbs, pretty much ever really. It is very rare that I eat anything made from a grain of any kind. I also find that I don't crave carbs anymore since I stopped eating them.

Thanks ladies!! Please feel free to share your pics on here! It really motivates me to see others succeeding as well.

Thank you Jessi!!!!

It has been...14 days since my last update. My 3 month surgiversary was on the 24th and I hit 50 lbs down!!! What a difference my entire life is from 3 months ago to today. I'm adding an updated photo for comparison. I'm still sometimes making some eating mistakes, for example eating too fast, But it is very few and far between. I pretty much eat whatever I want, but I concentrate on protein. The guy I'm dating really takes my eating habits into consideration when choosing restaurants and activities and so do all of my friends/family. Went to a party this past Friday and I did drink. I'm not a big drinker to begin with but I had this surgery to live a fuller life and sometimes that includes alcohol, I got pretty drunk, and it didn't take as much as it normally would but it still took a decent amount. I have found that I get a buzz fairly easily, but it is very short term. Just had a big NSV for me, I just spent the last hour going through my closet to pick out a cute skirt/legging/boot outfit and I actually had fun. I normally would try on outfits and feel completely annoyed, but now I feel optimistic and guess what?! I don't hate my knees anymore!! I was trying the skirt on the shorter side and I loved how it looked. I'm starting to get some really nice legs, collar bones, and shoulder blades. I have leaner ankles/feet/wrists and I'm happy with my progress. 50 lbs in 3 months and you can really see it. I am happy everyday that I chose this.

I am at 226.8, with my Halloween goal being 220. I've got a drop coming the next couple days, I can feel it!

I am 229 even today. Happy Friday!!

I keep missing the Friday weigh in, but I just reached my halloween goal of 229, so I am readjusting it to 220. CW: 229.4 Halloween GW: 220

Ren Faire was amazing this last weekend! I looked and felt wonderful. I have this new found confidence, and I got some really positive feedback on my outfit and my hair and my looks in general. Here's a couple pictures of me from the Faire. Also I dropped down to 230.8!! I am so close to the 220's and I haven't seen them since my teens, so about a decade.

Going to read it now!!

Oh man, Ann, you said it!! Other than the learning curve and the first couple weeks, this has been a cakewalk. I'm glad we did it!

I have no issues consuming anything of any temperature. I have no adverse reactions to literally anything at all that I have tried. Double edged sword, that is, lol.

Congrats on getting a date!!!! I can't wait to hear YOUR journey! I noticed the shorts look bigger, and the top looks a little looser around my spare tire. I'm really happy with my progress. I dropped another 1.5 lb since yesterday! Your surgery will be amazing and this will be the best decision you ever made for your life! Thanks for reading!

Hello! Short update. No super signficant loss since my last update. I'm about 41 lbs down since surgery and I am happy! I am noticing that I am bonier in the weirdest places. For example my back, I got out of the shower yesterday and looked at my back in the mirror and there were to lumps right where my shoulder blades are when that use to be smoothed over with, you know...fat, and my wrists/fingers are substantially smaller. Ren Fair in my city (Las Vegas) this weekend and I plan to dress up, so I will post a picture of me in my outfit sometime next week! I'm so excited. Hope everyone is as happy as I am right now!

Here's a 2 months out picture. 1st picture pre-op. 2nd picture 1 month, 3rd picture 2 months! Not a huge difference between month 1 and 2, but there is a difference, AND I'm at 40 lbs down!!! Life is good, friends.
