3 YEARS OUT AND DOING GREAT

Nov 24, 2009

I can't believe its been 3 years already, life is so great now, I got my 1st Degree black belt in June along with my husband, which was an awesome feeling. The gym and I are best friends, love ZUMBA, Spinning and even Yoga classes.  I no onger have any of the co-mobidities I had before surgery which is nice. I have a little problem with my iron count but we are working on it.  I have put on a little weight so I'm ion a size 8/10 and weigh between 147-149 lbs (started out at 330 lbs), everyone says I look alot better. When I was thinner I have people asking me if I had cancer or something as I looked so frail, my bones were all sticking out and I had no energy.  Never in my life did I think I wold be called Frail or Tiny, so it was kind of nice at first until everyone was getting so concerned. So I made a decision and gave away my size 4/6 clothes as I really thought I looked great at that weight even though I was being told I didnt and that people were concerned about me. And then someone took a picture and showed it to me, I couldn't believe it when I say all my bones sticking out through my clothes, that was kinda scary. Life is good again now though and I am maintaing at this weight and feel awesome. Still haven't had Pasta, Rice, Soda, used a straw and all theother stuff they say not to do in over 5 years as I don't want to find out I can do it without any problems.
I still keep track of what I eat and average about 1200-1300 calories a day if it is a super busy day for me at the gym I eat a little more, and I still take my protein drinks. I am one who cannpt eat that much at one time, so 3 meals a day with no snacks doesn't work for me, I eat about every 3 hours like clock work otherwise I don't get enough calories in which isn't good.
