Thanks for all of the nice compliments.

The surgery has changed my life. I am active and way more productive. I have recently changed jobs and my weight loss has even made me more marketable. I am able to hike, bike ride, hunt and even ski. I exercise as much as possible and do my best to keep it fun. I have an 8, almost nine year old daughter and we exercise together. Last March we even won a father daughter ski race medal!

I eat normal meals just a lot smaller then before. I pay attention to the rules, I never eat and drink at the same time, I eat Proteins, then veggies and then carbs only if I have any room left. I still enjoy eating and I try not to feel deprived. I do not eat much fried foods because they don't sit well in my stomach. I was never much of a sweets person but I do occasionally have a little ice cream with my family. I weigh myself once a week and adjust my calories and exercise accordingly. I have not actually had an issue with my weight going up.

I also go to the monthly support group in my area. I think that is a big help.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
