Awesome job and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Congrats on all your success. Keep up the fantastic job!!!

Yesterday was my 1 year as well!
I started off at 290 lbs, but I was 277 the day of surgery. today I'm 165.4. I've lost 111.6 lbs since surgery and 124.6 overall!
I went from a tight size 24 to now wearing 12s and 10s. I used to wear 3XL and 4XL shirts and dresses. I now wear Mediums and sometimes Larges.
My goal was to be 160lbs by 18 months out, but now being so close, I may shoot for something around 145 or 140 as I would technically still be considered overweight at 160. I just can't believe how far I've come in this short amount of time!

Go us!

Happy Anniversary! How exciting and wonderful a journey it has been. Day by day, ounce by ounce, you will get closer to your goal. Prayers your way!

:drinker: Such a nice thing to hear, when someone succeeds so well. I am 9 days post op and have lost 48 lbs since journey started in January 2013.

Congrats!!!!

Amazing!!!! Congratulations! I wonder where I'll be on my 1 year Surgiversary... :flowerforyou:

congrats I see we started our journey at the same time...love it..what kinds of foods are you eating now?

I get excited to meet others starting around the same time as me or around the same loss as me just to know what they are eating now and what they do to work out, etc.

I still have a protein shake or Greek yogurt smoothie for breakfast everyday.
Lunch is often a chicken or tuna salad with low calorie crackers or cocktail shrimp or half a low fat sandwich or something like that
Dinner can be a shrimp stir fry with lots of veggies and no rice or noodles. Or a half a low carb tortilla with healthy pizza toppings. Or baked tilapia and veggies. Or something similar.

I do have snacks from time to time, but they are generally fruit or protein bars.

What about you? What kinds of foods are you eating?

Well at 23 days out, I hadn't quite lost as much as you. I definitely have lost slower than many people, but I'm still very happy with how things are going. And when you look back at where you started, you realize just how far you have really come.
I had a lot of trouble comparing myself to others as well, but now that I am so close to where I want to be, it doesn't matter that it may have taken me longer than others. I am a very number-based type of girl. I have to keep data about everything.
So if you have any interest, I imagine knowing how much I lost each month would probably make you feel better as you appear to already be losing faster than me.
I lost 13 lbs before surgery. Following surgery:

month 1: 17.4 lbs
month 2: 14.8
month 3: 11.6
month 4: 11
month 5: 8.6
month 6: 10.4
month 7: 7.2
month 8: 5.4
month 9: 7.4
month 10: 5.2
month 11: 6.8
month 12: 5.8

As you see, I haven't had the largest losses, but I'm very happy with my progress. And I'm still losing more than 5 lbs each month, so I'd say that's pretty amazing results (especially compared to how much I was gaining before surgery)

How very exciting. Congratulations on all your success and keep it up girl.
