At 11 months post op, I've adapted well to my new "normal" life. I LOVE to workout: running, weights, yoga, workout classes. I've completely given up rice, bread, potatoes, and Pasta. I don't eat fried foods or candy. Basically, I eat real food- Protein, veggies, fruit, nuts, yogurt, cheese. I never feel deprived or left out- it's all about the mindset.

And I'm starting to love shopping instead of crying and dreading.

Here are my pics

I also added other photos & photos of food I eat (hopefully this helps someone) in my 11 month pic gallery.

You look amazing! We have very similar stats in terms of starting date and weight lost. I started at a higher weight than you and still have about 30 lbs to go to meet my goal weight. I really appreciate your posting your pictures -- it helps me so much to see people in roughly my situation who look so fantastic! I have trouble seeing what's going on with my own body and I think externalizing it a bit is really helpful.

You look so cute and really happy too -- I'm thrilled for you!

Congrats on your success! You look fantastic.

Wow...you look amazing!
