I have not had surgery yet (just finishing up my last month of my 6 months of supervised diet as required by my insurance compnay) and was having second thoughts. I have not been on this site in awhile and decided to see what was going on. WOW, so gald I checked in today and there you were with your story. Thank you so much for posting your journey and pictures; you have touched my heart ! !

You look amazing great job.

[PITSTOP]

You look fantastic! Over 200 lbs in 11 months is crazy! You'd be rich if you could package up that kind of success in a bottle and sell it. Congrats, you're a inspiration to us all. I love the before and after pics too!

Ann2: Thank you! I'm almost blushing here. I'm 1.68 meters, which translates to about 5 feet 6 inches (?). I usally use metric measurements so I used an online calculator.. =P My BMI is 25,9

Loraw: Thank you so much, it's the greatest feeling ever, beeing able to be an inspiration for someone.
Well, I eat when I'm hungry. I use very litle low fat products, I usually make all my meals from scratch and try to eat as "clean" as posible. I do eat alot of dairy products like cottage cheese and youghurts without sugar/low on sugar. My main thing has been staying away from sugar. I havent had a sip of soda, or a taste of candy/cakes or anything in a year.
I usually eat 5-8 times a day, depending on how hungry I feel that day..

Mhoward0605: Thank you so much! And good luck when it's your turn in just a few days! I spent the first two weeks on a liquid diet. I drank alot of 50/50 water and applejuice with icecubes. I also drank alot of smoothie with banana, mango, proteinenriched youghurt and applejuice. They told me at my hospital that I shouldn't count proteins the first two weeks, but focus on my liquid intake. The next two weeks i ate soft foods, alot of sweet potato mash with some fish to go with it. I bet you'll figure it out and do just fine!

niki K: Thank you so much! Looking forward to reaching my goalweight!

Terps: Thank you so much! Your words really hit me straight in my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3

Mzzsugar: Oh dear you, you shouldn't compare yourself to others. By the look of your ticker your doing really good already! We are all different and our body is not the same. I'll bet you'll hit it out of the park eventually!

MamaPope77: Aww, thank you! Like I'v said before - I love beeing able to be an inspiration to others!

Aquajog: Thank you so much <3

Lee6Lee: I had to just laugh out loud when I read your comment! But I have to agree. My weightlossjourney has been everything I could wish for, and more. It's been truly amazing.

Ariggs: Thank you so much dear <3 Your doing great! I'm sure you'll be able to do just whatever you wish for just as long as you decide to do it!

Knewday4me: Your story really touched me, and I'm so glad I picked just this day to post my story and picture. I'm sure you'll figure out what's the best solution for you. And I can tell you I do NOT regret my sleeve. It's been lifechanging and amazing all the way. I would go trough everything again in a heartbeat.

Redab051: Thank you so much!

Pitstop: Thank you honey! I must admit that this journey is THE thing I'm most proud of in my whole life so far (exept giving birth to my daughter). So yeah, imagine if I could sell my recipe for weightloss! I wouldn't have to work another day in my life! I'm glad you liked the pictures. Often pictures speaks louder than words..

Thank you mem222! <3 I love beeing an inspiration

Tanks Candik! I would really like some tips about how to get ready for the halfmarathon! I got a pulsewatch for x-mas, so now I'm just focusing on my pulse while running. Now I can manage 10K in about 1 hour and 20 minutes, and I'v never ran more than 11K.

I just sent you a private message with some tips.

You're too valuable a resource to lose.
