Six years have flown by
Feb 24, 2011
It's hard to absorb in my mind that WLS took place 6 years ago. I oftentimes have forgotten what life as a MO person was like. I DON'T want to forget but I guess it is true that life becomes "normal" at some point.I have truly been blessed with WLS, a fantastic surgeon, lots of determination and will-power and the support of my OH friends. I look forward to the next 6 years to see where my new life takes me.
Pre-op Weight: 260.5 (January 14, 2005)
Surgery Weight: 239.8 (February 21, 2005)
Goal Weight: 130 lbs
Met goal weight on November 17, 2005! Actually 129.8
6 Years later on February 21, 2005: 127.8
I had a slight regain from my lowest weight of 119 lbs, it was WAY to small for me. I loved the number, I looked sick. Then there was a time about a year ago that I got sidetracked, not even eating large amounts (I can't) but grazing entirely too much and saw 137 lbs for ONE day. It took that number for me to freak out a bit and buckle down. Stayed around 132-134 for a period of time then late 2010 I decided I'd played around enough and thanks to the support and challenges of a few OH friends I really buckled down on choices. I DID NOT cut back how much I eat, again I eat small amounts still but I started logging my intake to find out I wasn't eating enough calories and protein. I started planning better and lost from 133.8 to 127.8 in less than 2 months.
I'm playing with trying to get to 125 lbs, why because I want to challenge myself to do it. I still thrive on the scale number, the size I'm in doesn't impact my mojo but dangit the scale number does :). I'm not obsessed with getting there or staying there just something I want to try to do.
Ultimately the only thing I FEEL I need to do is to continue taking my vitamins, eating healthy 90% of the time, staying accountable to myself only and LIVE, LIVE, LIVE life.
Let the journey continue, I'm ready!
