Ramblings...

I did good on vacation though, got my protein and liquids (mostly) in each day and didn't miss any vit's or B12. I came home at the same weight I left at but my clothes are getting loose again. Go figure. I had a neat moment on the plane...I had to take DD to the bathroom and we both fit in their together, the door shut AND we had room to spare. That was a heck of a WOW moment!

I think when things are really bad, there is no way to go but DOWN!
257.5 lbs was bad...I had to go down! And go down I did! Now if only my skin had a different attitude! lol
Almost one year out...
Nov 04, 2006
I'll be a year out on Tuesday and I've used the past week to reflect and think about my journey. I had my one year post op appointment on Wednesday last week and I left there feeling SO AMAZING! I've been down in the dumps lately and Dr Brader explained to me how I've been working toward this goal for a year and I've been so focused on it, now that it's here, it's kind of like "Now what?"...and he's right. That's exactly how I feel. So now I'm taking some time to come up with some new goals (like getting PS approval, maintaining my loss and hopefully losing just a smidge more so I can say I got to 150, even though my loss is considered a success by everyone).
I weighed in at 156, so since my initial consult 8/1/05 I've lost 110 lbs and since the day of surgery I've lost 101.5 lbs. I CANNOT COMPLAIN! I've gone from a size 2x/3x top to a size medium or small and from a 28 or 30 bottom to a 10 or 12. I know the bottom size would be smaller if I didn't have to stuff all this skin in...it's like putting jello through a funnel...hey if I don't laugh about it, I'd be depressed all the time!
So anyway, life is good, I can finally see myself as smaller ALL the time (that's a recent development too) and now I just need to stop turning sideways when I walk into bathroom stalls or through restaurants. Old habits die hard I guess.
