10 month post-op update

So, I'm a little late on this one, but not a lot has changed between month 9 and 10.

I'm wearing a range of sizes depending on where I'm shopping. Old Navy and Wal-Mart in a size 4-6, small to medium tops. Rue 21, and more juniory sizes I'm in a solid 7, sometimes a 5.

Life is good. I'm happy, healthy, figuring this stuff out is still a learning process. Things are tasting better these days, and some of my old stand by favorites have lost their luster. BUT, I am finding that I'm eating a very balanced diet including veggies/fruits/proteins/carbs. I'm short some days on Protein, and over on carbs, but I'm not stressing about the numbers with the exception of calories, and I'm staying between 1200-1500 per day.

I did buy a new dress (Old Navy) and super adorable wedges (Traffic) this last week.

I'm super stoked to be wearing springy dresses. This is all new territory for me as I've never worn this kind of stuff. I mean NEVER in my life.

Sleeved life is good. It's still a journey for me, I hope to keep this mentality up for the long haul. I still have bad days, do not believe that every day is perfect. It's not always easy, but thus far, it's been completely worth it.

Sorry it's blurry, the kiddo snapped these for me real quick.

I promise I know how to Iron as well, but I had been sitting in my truck for at least an hour before taking these.

You are doing great! Can't wait to start counting post-op days myself soon. I wanted to take a moment to say how awesome it is that you are very active supporting everyone here on the boards whether they are beginning thier journey or have been on it a long time and just need support. You are a great inspiration!

Wow, you look fantastic! I have a lot to lose, but you inspire me and make me feel like it can be done. I've also never been able to wear cute dresses like that, so I can only imagine how excited you must be!

You look adorable Tiffy! I agree that it's so much fun wearing dresses and buying clothes these days.

I am so glad I found you on this board. You are a blessing in my life!

Hi Tiffy - you look amazing!!! I am starting at about the same point as you came from - surgery 3 weeks today - woo hoo!

I find your pics inspirational and keep looking at them as an icon of what can be achieved! (Not in some weird stalker way you understand - lol!).

Your posts are great too have found the info and support you give others really helpful!

Thanks and well done!

Lyn

Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!

If I knew how to type a whistle I would, LOL You look great girl! Dresses/skirts are my hubby's dream for me, LOL Matter of fact, I'll go post a pic of an outfit he picked out for me back in the day when I was about a 13 (after some very hard dieting), go check it out Tiffy, I want to be that girl again for him!! Well, actually smaller, lol, but I'll take that size as a first reward ;-)

Anyway, congratulations. You are such an inspiration and a great support to everyone here. You deserve every great thing that comes your way!!!!

Hugs,

Krystal

Thank you all so very much. I don't know what I'd do without y'all, and all of your continued support and encouragement.

I sincerely appreciate all the sweet compliments, and I'm grateful to have y'all in my life.

Tiffy -

You go girl! You are such an inspiration to so many of us on this board. Thanks for putting so much time into answering questions and giving advice! I was so thrilled when I saw your new pics up that I had to call SlimDiddySleeve and let her know as well - you inspire us all the time:):(

Tiffany you need to be the poster child for the Sleeve! You are rockin' that dress! I love that one. May have to get one for me to wear this summer!!!

Congrats!
