Hello everyone I've been somewhat MIA from the site. Life happens. Usually check my messages though. Im still holding steady at 150 and im happy with that. I eat pretty much anything I want. I do prefer to pick more than eat. Looking to have plastic surgery next year to touch up the things that bother me. All in all the best decision for me was to have WLS. Feel free to reach out if you want.

Wow!! You look amazing. I'm scheduled to have my surgery May 30th. Do you find that working out helps with any loose skin, if you had/have that problem?
May 11, 2017
I still have that problem but for the past 10 months I worked out with a trainer 3x a week and jogging/walking 2 other days. You still have to put in the work. Im comfortable with where i am now minus the things I want to nip & tuck. You wont regret your decision.

Do you have any appetite to eat? Do you feel full and not wanting food? Do you have heart burn?
May 11, 2017
I do have an appetite to eat but you wont get down much food. Your mindset is still in wanting to eat a plate of food but tge reality is you are not. Depends on my body i can get down a cup of food maybe a bit more now. I tend to pick more than eat, not really a good habit but thats what I do. I no longer have heartburn and stopped the meds 3 months after surgery.

I'm officially off of my sleep apnea machine and no longer have obstructive sleep apnea. Yayyyy, off this stupid machine! It never did help me anyway. I've been struggling with being tired, exhausted really for a good month now. Trying to just snap out of it. I am still taking my vitamins faithfully! Hope all of you are starting the year well!

Just an update I'm still in the 150's but hopefully I'll be out of them soon. It's been a month since I've been here. The less you have to lose the slower the weight goes. Holidays o holidays have been a lil tough with all the goodies. I still can only eat about 1/4cup - 1/2 cup of food 6 months post op. I'm happy though I've lost a total of 58 pounds. My goal is to be 140 and if I do maintain this weight then I will get ready for the next phase of things which will be plastic surgery. This girl right here wants the works. lol I hope everyone is doing well so far in their journey!! Always wishing you all the best! Please feel free to comment or inbox me.
