7 Months & 116.4 Pounds

I am 7.5 months post op and down 116.4 pounds! I started to get discouraged today because as the numbers get smaller, you don't see those huge changes in your body from month to month. So I thought maybe I should remind myself of where I've started & where I am. I shot this pic after my work out :-)

You look fabulous! How are you feeling?

Thank you!!! Good question!!! I feel amazing!! That is the best part. I am doing things I never thought I could do (like running 3 miles nonstop!!), have so much more energy, and am so much more confident :-) Plus I'm healthy :-)

I am 11 days post op and still have trouble swallowing cottage cheese at times. Does this heartburn feeling eventually go away?

I'm hoping to have my sleeve surgery in August- Running us something I used to do, and look forward to!! How many cal do you take in on most days? Can you give an example in what you eat in most days?

I'm usually between 600-700 calories. I try really hard to stick to no more than 40g carbs, at least 65-70g protein, and at least 10 8-oz waters. I track everything on MFP. My name is livvsmum if you want to add me. All my logs are viewable :-)

YES! I promise it gets better. The first 2 weeks were TOUGH. Just get through it & every day gets better. I actually don't take any hb meds at all now. :-)

Wow, incredible transformation! :)
