I am 1 year post op from surgey since june 29th

Ive lost 158 or 159 lbs. So far and im still losing. Its slower now..but still dropping weight.. at times I love this surgery and at other times I wish I would have never gone through with it... like when I want that extra bite of food. Or that whole cupcake or even an ice cold diet pepsi that hasn't passed these lips in a year...im so tired of water...lol

My scale made me its b***h... but I took that back!!!!! The scale is my b***h now!

Happy 1 year surgiverrsary to me ;)

159 lb

Down from a 30 jeans size to a 14 levi's

Down from a 4x/5x shirts to size Large/ Xlarge.

Down from a 46ddd bra to a 38ddd bra....

So yeah me!

Wow! Congratulations!!! You look wonderful!

Congrats on your accomplishments! & for making the scale your b***ch! Lol

Wow!!! congratulations. I hope I am as successful. I know what you mean about just a bite. I keep telling myself that the first bite is the best...after that it's just eating.

You look beautiful! Congratulations on your success!

congrats on your success...like others, I can only pray I enjoy your same success when I am one year out...I think you need to update your ticker, girl! :)

ps

I am only 2 months out but already know what you mean about not being able to eat that extra bite...the times I feel this the most is when I have been at a restaurant and there is something I truly enjoy and can only eat a few bites...I know I should be happy to at least eat a few bites, but it's hard not to at least eat half of it :unsure:

Congratulations on your success. It is genuinely inspirational to me, being pre-op and undecided.

lost 158 or 159 lbs. still losing. So yeah me!

Today is actually my birthday! So lots of celebration has been going! My boyfriend took me to Atlantic City for a week where I lost 4lbs!!!!

Well congrats AND Happy Bday!!

You're doing it....going, going, gone....where are you? (LOL!) Keep up the fabulastic great work! Every day I question, "should I have, or shouldn't I have", until I put on my regular Ladies size Large bathing suite (from a 22-24 last summer!) and I'm like, "Thank you God, for my surgery!" A new you and me, and countless others! It is NOT easy (in fact I have to chuckle when I read newbies at 2 months saying, "I know how you feel about eating that extra bite".....really, at 2 months, you still have no idea...I hate to say it, but it's true. It's when you are smaller, livin' life, then you just plain forget...not chew enough, eat too fast...then dun, dun, dunnnnn......the pain! Oh yeah, I forgot I had surgery! That's when it's tough, you look "normal" but still aren't. Good luck!
