hey everybody!!!
wow its been a while since i have posted on here. i have been a busy girl, a lot of life changes going on in my world the past few months. as of friday, i weigh 186lbs!!! i started out at 272.5 on october 6th, the day i started opti-fast. so what am i dealing with in terms of life changes you ask? well i have had to get almost a new wardrobe which is constantly changing but i love it. my body looks different, my hair is falling out like a mofo lol i get dizzy spells but its so worth it. i have so much more energy. i can run up like 3 flights of stairs and be mildly short of breath....i have energy to go for long walks. i have been sort of bad though and havent started a work out routine. i was thinking of joining Curves actually, any one else go to curves? i will have to try and upload some pictures sometime soon. or if people want to, they can add me to facebook - Tristan Shular!!
so i ended a 7 year relationship (long time coming, on and off). not because i had the surgery but because i fell out of love with him. i had been with him since i was 19 and i turn 27 this year! i moved to orillia to be closer to work (not having a car sucks) and im really happy right now. i do slack sometimes in terms of taking my vitamins but ive never been one to take pills on a regular basis so im definitely working on improving that!!! i have my "6 month" check up with the surgeon at the end of the month! i cant believe its been 5 months already. 86.5lbs GONE!!! it feels amazing.
i wish all the best to any new butterflies having the surgery and to those who have had the surgery :) its really an amazing experience and everyone goes through it differently. i had a rough start but man was it worth it. people dont even recognize me anymore. especially people from high school! the first thing they say to me "hey skinny minny!!". i fit into a size L for most shirts...i can buy a regular coat, not plus size. i still wear maternity jeans with an elastic waist because they are so comfortable lol i use to have to buy a 2x in maternity jeans or a size 18 -depending on the sizes and material...now i can go to old navy and buy a pair of skinnys at size 14! i bought my first bras from victoria secret and a pair of pj bottoms :) not to sound materialistic...but it has opened up a lot of doors for me fashion wise!!!
anyway, i dont know what else to say....but i just wanted to post an update!!!!

Congratulations on your successes todate. Sound like you've made some real positive changes. Keep up the good work.
I have to agree with Monica - dump the maternity pants. Celebrate the new you by wearing clothes that fit you properly!
