Ok...time for a update on how things are going for me now.
Greatttttttt! No problems post op, everything works fine, and I am happy.
Where am I today and where did I end up after 3 and 1/2 years later.
weight~was 294/now 156
pants~was size 24/now size 8
shirts~was size 2x/now size S and i can even wear petite S. :)
The boobs have left and are gone. LOL was 44D/now 32B ~which is hard to find!
3 plus years later I fight to maintain. I am winning the fight. My lowest weight was 145 for a second or two. I maintained 148 for the longest time and almost 4 years post op my weight today is 155. I watch, eat right and do what I have to do to stay right around 155ish. Do you know anyone thin that doesn't watch, workout or eat healthy..."neither do i, so I do what I have to do". A small gain is ok with me but I will not put myself in the pain I was in by gaining again. So if I gain a pound or two I get right back to doing what I know is right and makes me feel good. Don't think I don't over do or eat crap because I do. Just not everyday or no doubt I could gain 20 pounds I'm sure of it. I can eat about 1/2 of what I used to now and my body is now used to my bypass. Most days I eat egg whites, salads, little bread and make the right choice rather than maybe eat what I want to at that moment. It's a choice and it's only up to me now. I feel great weighing 155 and I won't let that go. I've never known anything different than being fat, heavy, sad and I've had enough to last a lifetime. So to me "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". And daily I tell myself that to get through carvings or old habits. One thing I have learned as time passes is they staple your stomach, bypass your intestines and the head games, your thoughts and your habits all stay the same. You don't just wake up one day thin and happy and everything is A~OK. Well not in my world anyway. So I promised myself I would not look away and tell myself lies and become heavy again. Stay honest and true to myself for once in my life.
And that's how I'm doing today.
Here is a few pics taken in the past few months.
PEACE OUT!
BE HAPPY!
