What a difference a year can make!



Recommended Posts

I find myself struggling to see the changes that everyone else sees lately. Well, my mind is finally catching up with my body! I get it and see it now! I was banded 12/3/12 and I'm 7months post-op and have lost over 70lbs! I feel better mentally and physically. I have been hitting the gym at 4am, 4-5x's week and it is paying off. My before pic is 7/5/12 in the blue shirt is before surgery and my after pic in the pink dress is 7/5/13, exactly one year apart. I had no clue till I posted the new pic on FB and everyone was commenting on it so I looked up pics from last summer and I was like "now I see it". All i can say is What a difference a year can make"! Also my beautiful Bambino in the pics is my main motivation to get healthy and active for her. :) <3

Also thanks to everyone on LBT for sharing their stories, struggles and victories. This site has kept me going and staying focused on the long term goals!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
