Updating
Well it is been a long time since I posted. I have had so many changes in my diet & body that I needed to do an update. So here goes.....
So for starters my current weight is 150 & has been since March. I have a small amount of saggy skin on the inside of both thighs & a large amount of sagging in my boobs.
Funny thing is I made an appointment to see my Dr for the changes in my breast & she stated that part of what I was feeling was my ribs! Lol I always had large breast & had a reduction years ago (botched). NOW that I have lost over 110 lbs I get to see ribs in area that I want full ago but I will take what I have for now.
My health has failed me couple times this year where i was unable to walk for a month. Thus halting my exercise plans & muscle growth. My diet went off courseduring these times as well as while vacationing twice this year.
What I did do right is finally figured out that I M gluten sensitive & continuing to work towards a gluten free diet. I continue to eat a high protein diet & that works for me. My cholesterol is down & I remain off blood pressure meds. I remain on my Autoimmune meds & anti-inflammatory meds.
This surgery has been good thing for me even though the weight loss didn't alleviate all of my Ailments. It has taught me to listen to my body more.

Finally out of the 170's
With the holidays, both of my kids birthday milestones 25, & 21 I have been eating a lot. I have found that some bad habits have come back & some cravings as well. I have also found a lot of food that cause inflammation in my body or that my stomach just doesn't like. Boy this is a journey.
My cravings are no where near as bad as they use to be but I find that I want more chips or crackers now. I don't eat a lot of those things because it makes my stomach bloat so big! This surgery has been a God send because I would have never been able to cut these things out of my life this long & realize that they were causing me problems. Bread is horrible so I pretty much stay away for it at all cost.
Again, I still think that this surgery has helped me in so many ways besides losing weight! But about the weight. I am down to 168 consistently. This is just 6lbs shy of 100 lb weight loss! !!!!!!!
I hope I can get to that 100lb by January 1.
I still eat good food & have some bad things every now & then. I know that is what slowed me down is the bad things & building muscle back up.
But I am happy with the way my weight loss has gone. I don't have a lot of lose skin like some others do. And I think it is all about the slower weight lost. My vitamin levels have been normal & I use the vitamin patch. When I take my water aerobic class I take a gummy vitamin & all this has seemed to work. Good luck to you guys & Merry Christmas!!
Oh BTW is anyone else having trouble uploading their pics?! Until I can get my pic uploaded I will say this...
Pant size 10 & they are starting to fit lose
Tops medium
Shoe size went down about 1 size
Starting weight was 262, current 168

6 month update!
Hey everyone!!! So yesterday was my six month anniversary & I weighed in at 182! That is 80 pounds lost! I wanted to scream it from the roof top but I still haven't told anyone about my surgery.
Things seem to be going good except for constipation . Ugh! I have increased my fiber/veggies to help & it seems to work pretty well.
I know that I would not be at this weight without the surgery & I am thanking God for it. So, hang in there whatever phase you are at. It will work out for the better in the end.
