So it has been about 7 months since I've had my surgery and I'm down approximately 128 lbs!! It is an amazing feeling, literally. The feeling of being able to just maneuver from place to place with out feeling like I might get stuck on something or inbetween something and embarass myself, the feeling of fitting into my car comfortably, buckling my seatbelt with one shot with no hassle and even being able to drive with one leg up on the seat or crossed under my other leg! Or being able to simply cross my legs under tables when I sit now, or anywhere! It truly is an amazing feeling and I'm very thankful to everyone who helped make it possible for me.
So! What's life like after losing 128 lbs? It's great! I'm very active now I'm either out with friends walking, at the gym, going somewhere where before I'd always be..home. Boring. It sucked. I feel like slowly but surely my life is getting to where I want it to be. I'm a lot more outgoing now and I like that new side of me. Everyone in my life has been so supportive and amazing to me. I get nothing but compliments whenever I see people who've known me since before the surgery and it's almost weird to me because I'm not used to it like I thought I was. My friends and family would always tell me "you are so beautiful, you have such a beautiful face." soo.. I guess now that my body is thinning out I'm just beautiful "period". haha funny how life works but I'm still appreciative of everything I've been handed.
My body has gone down in proportion I'd say. I've been told my face was the first thing to thin out and then my legs (I can now wear UGG brand tall boots!! They never fit up my calves before) and arms and whole body all together haha. I have been hitting the gym but no one is perfect I don't go every day. I've noticed my inner thighs have loose skin that will probably require plastics to remove, my arms are not so bad but theres still loose skin there too that. My stomach will most certainly need a tummy tuck and I will also need a breast augmentation but hey! it's all part of renewing myself and I want to be happy in my future.
Well! I hope everyone else is also having a succesful weight loss!! I've posted some "After" photos for your viewing to see the difference from the befores. I gotta run catch you all later! :)

I'm back! I'm sorry I've been gone for a while haha. I log onto the site atleast a few times a month and look at other member profiles I guess I just always forget to update mine so I figured I would for whoever reads this! haha.
So I will be 5 months post-op on January 30, 2012 and I couldn't be happier and more excited about my future and life than I am right now!
I started my journey weighing in at approximately 336Lbs maybe even higher (I am 5'10") and wearing a size 24 jeans/pants that was already becoming too tight to fit into, and a 3XL shirt.
I now weigh in (since the last time I weighed myself a few weeks ago) at 238Lbs give or take a little that is a staggering 108Lb weight loss!!! YAY ME! . I have not weighed this much since I was about 19 years old and it is the most amazing feeling ever I couldn't be happier. I can now fit COMFORTABLY into a size 18-20 jeans/pants, and can wear anywhere between a 1XL-2XL depending on the store/brand some places run differently in sizes.
I've also gotten into my physical health and I have started exercising. I try to implent physical activity into my every day life, whether I am going up a flight of stairs rather than an elevator, or parking at the very farthest spot in the lot. I also go to the gym and go for long walks with my girlfriends.
I eat healthy now once in a while I might have something like some chicken finger or something notice I say finger because I usually only need like 1 to help fill me up haha. Well life is good! I am happier than ever and have 0 regrets. I thank the Lord my savior for helping me and guiding me in the right direction in my life and my mother who was by my side thru it all and ofcourse my supportive family and friends!
Update!

So i thought i'd hop on and do a blog really quick if thats what its called lol. I've been thinking a lot lately about life after the surgery, a lot of questions running thru my mind, will i lose weight? will i feel comfortable in my new body? will i lose a lot of my hair? many things.. I like coming on here at times of doubt and questions because its very helpful, and inspirational to me. I smoke ciggs and I haven't quit yet, i know i have to quit atleast 2 months prior to my surgery date which is aug 30th so im kind of just timing it. i plan to stop after this week..(hopefully). Its hard though..but if i have to choose between a smoke or my surgery its kind of obvious what my choice would be. Anyways I've also been ordering shirts online in a size Medium lately, its what i estimate i'll be wearing after i reach my goal weight of 140-145lbs. Anyone else in here (WOMEN) 5'10?????? and if so whats your goal weight and what not...inbox me! :)
Well thats just a little update for now i gotta go to lunch soooo i'll see yall later! :) stay healthy my friends!
