NEW GOAL... A continuation to my journey.
Hi!!!!
So due to my degenerative disk disease I believe (after measuring myself) I lost 2,5 inches. So now I am 5'1.5" tall. So as of today, I am at 160 pounds, BMI 27.4, putting me finally at overweight.... WHOOOT! incredible. I have not been "overweight" in a million years LOL. So, the Goal here is to become "NORMAL" in those evil charts. So I need to loose 26 pounds. So I have committed myself that by September 2017, I need to reach this goal. Right now I am in size 9 from 26W, so I am definitely not complaining, and I definitely content. However. I came this far, why not further. This is my 4th year with this surgery, and I am a living proof that this is hard work, and not a miracle surgery. but its a Super tool! I am also a living proof, that if you want it badly enough and you are willing to make sacrifices, you can accomplish a lot! So join my in this journey that started 4 years a go! GO ME!

UPDATE January 2017 3 YEARS and counting!
My Gastric Bypass surgery was on November 26, 2013, it has been over 3 years now. By now, many people can see their permanent changes, of if they re-gained weight or if in fact the surgery was a success. Well, I am here to tell you that I believe I am a complete success!
When I first started this journey I weighted 315 pounds, and I was about size 26W. I hit many stalls along the way, and many challenges. I have learned a lot about my body, and I continue to learn more with each day that passes.
Today I am happy to report that I am not size 9/10 and weight 160 pounds. This was only a dream to me at one point in my life. Now, its a reality, and I couldn't be more happy with my progress. I also went from a size 11W in shoes to a regular 10, on underwear I went from a size 11 to a size 6, and on bra size I went from 48DD to 40DD.
Food portions are still small. I still feel that the pouch have not stretched as much as other people. I do have a sweet tooth.
I used to be able to eat a whole Medium pizza by myself, and now I barely can get two slices in.
I also found that the best way to get my antacid, its by chews. (best invention ever)
OH, also, my ring size wen from 11 to a 6.5!!!!!
Well, this is me now! I will update soon! Thanks for reading and following my progress. This was not easy, but I thank all those who supported me through this journey.
