my turn to brag...

Laura - you ROCK! Congrats on achieving so much. I think so many people think that gastric bypass is the "easy" way out of losing weight. But, I've had a few people close to me who have had the surgery, and it definitely isn't easy. You look fantastic, and I'm so glad you're so much more healthy! Big HUGS!
 
OMGoodness Laura!! I knew you had the surgery, but all the benefits that you are reaping are amazing! Way to go on your new health :)!
 
Thanks girls! :o I realize that it's a huge physical change but seriously Jae, you hit it on the head...there's so much I'm noticing now (mentally and health wise) that I never had even known exsisted before!
 
You look fab Laura...

I know your change is sooo much more inner as well (sorry for the grammar haha)...I know people see the outer and think wow you look fab but your confidence and personality now are amazing!
 
What do you do now to keep yourself looking so good?

It helps a lot now that I can only eat smaller portions. I try to stay away from bread, pasta, and things like pizza. I snack on carb-y things...me and popcorn/pretzels/goldfish are like bff lol...but try not to too much. I've found quite a few things that I really like that are higher protein and less carbs. I really changed the way my whole family eats and that helped a lot. Just not having it in the house is my secret lol I don't have an aversion to sugar (damn the luck) so I need to keep it away. If it were in the house, I'd eat it...and that's what got me in the predicament I was in.


Thanks again ladies! :wub:
 
Congratulations Laura!! What a wonderful thing for YOU (and your family too)!!! You look awesome!!!
