6 Month Surgiversary!

Nov 18, 2009

Well, here I am. 6 months post-op. I have lost almost 60 pounds. I am over the half-way mark to my long-term goal. I have less to lose now than I have already lost. Wheee! Unfortunately, my losses have slowed quite a bit, partly due to stress in the last three months. However, I am beginning a new strength-training exercise routine today that I hope will help me ramp up my losses. I would really like to show losses over the next six weeks of holiday festivities and food. I don't know that I have ever lost wait over the holidays. There is a first time for everything though and I want this to be the year.

I am solidly wearing a size 14, down from a size 20 pre-op. This alone feels like a fantastic result. I have a shape other than round. Yay! The pannus is getting worse the more I lose and I really wonder whether a tummy-tuck will be in my future. I never really considered it, but it definitely affects how my pants fit these days.

Short Term Goal--Lose at least 10 pounds between now and New Year's Day 2010.
