10 Months – How time flies!
 |
Nothing too new to report — still happy in my new body, feeling “normal” again. It’s weird to be eating a little more but no one can survive on that little amount of food forever! Hoping to break the 150 barrier soon.
Most of my life I’ve referred to my little sister Kate as the “tiny” one… I still do. Last night, we were walking and I had to ask what size her jeans were — I imagined she was a 4 or 6. She is size 10 – same as me! I think the look of shock on my face was apparent. I still don’t see me as the “tiny” one but she is — how weird to be able to borrow her clothes! |
Sorry that my posts here have gotten so sporadic — I’ll still do my monthly updates, new products or milestones – but for the most part, life is great. Still haven’t had anything get stuck, only 1 dumping episide and that was way back in the first month so I still avoid too much sugar, although I’ve had a little pieces of cake for birthdays with no issue. Nothing seems to bother me and everything tastes so much better. Looking forward to my 1 year surgiversary!
OH! I forgot to mention — in the picture above, I am wearing an OLD bridesmaid dress that I wore in the early 80′s — before I gained most of my weight – and the dress is actually a little too big. Was sure fun finding it though and being able to put it on again for a laugh.
Quick overview as of Feb 24:
- Lost 95 pounds
- 85.5″ inches smaller from neck to ankle
- Size Lg/Med tops
- Size 10 jeans – not tight!

Mary,
I have been missing your frequent posts, but am glad to see everything is going great. You look awesome! I am closing in on 6 months post op, and it has been helpful to follow your journey and see where I may be ending up! Keep the helpful hints coming…Here’s one you may already know…I have found that Dunn Brothers coffee shops (in the Twin Cities) will sell the Tofrani syrup they stock. They have SF almond (and amy other great flavors), which I was unable to find anywhere else. No shipping! Take Care!
