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.
