New Photos -76.2 And Almost 4 Months Out

I took a couple new pictures today and thought I would share. I found some old pre-surgery pictures on my computer today and felt like I wanted to see where I was in comparison.

Pre-surgery (Highest recorded weight: 325)

The last 2 are from today. They aren't the best pictures as I had just gotten up from a nap, but I really think it shows a big difference from where I started. I am so thankful for my VSG! =)

I was really strict with myself the first 2 or 3 months. Hit my protein goal every day. Once I was allowed to work out I was working out almost every day. Lately I've kind of fallen off the wagon as far as that goes, but I've been working on getting back on the protein wagon (I'm starting to have some hair loss so I'm hoping it helps that too). I love isopure zero carb and muscle milk light and drink one or two every day. Even when I don't work out, I walk a ton. My boyfriend and I go places to walk almost every weekend, so I think that's helped. Mostly I just follow my doctor's guidelines and I still have great restriction so it works well. I have a feeling that at four months you'll probably be close to where I am =)
