A few months ago I was reading about how our genes affect our weight loss that first year post-op, and how our environment will affect year 2 and the following years. I will be one year out tomorrow and will have my one year post-op on Saturday. This past-year has been many things, sometimes a roller coaster with many ups and a few downs, sometimes really cozy and calm...but those precious times are just not enough to always feel stress-free. Still, that past year has ...
I was in a stall since November. Had a bad flu, my asthma kicked in (I was almost free of it since 2011) and while I was happy to be able to stay away from antibiotics, I still had to take my asthma medication for several weeks. At the same time I've been in a stall since November, didn't pay attention for a few weeks, then realized in December that it was indeed again a side effect of the medication.

Hello friends!! Today it's time to talk about a serious topic:shoes!! When being big for so long, most of the time I didn't see the point of buying more "giant tent style" clothing...and instead I would enjoy to get nice shoes, at least I thought that if I was going to lose that extra weight one day, at least I would still be able to wear my fav shoes....WRONG!! So far, ten months out, +90 pounds down since my first consult (110 from my highest ...
