well I  will be 7 months out on June 21st. and I now weigh 262 lbs.  I am now for the FIRST time in my adult life smaller than my oldest sister.  I can fit my ass into a size 18 jeans down from a tight size 32 jeans and some XL and 1 XL tops down from a 4 to 5 XL.
  I am not losing lbs as much as I seem to be losing inches.  I was in one hell of a long stall for about 6 to 8 weeks as I try my darnedest not to scale watch LOL. even hid the scale under the middle of my bed but now my ass can easily get down on the floor to retrieve it.  DAMN them scales and stalls... LOL.....  Well I still am feeling great and can do so ,much more than I have been able to in a very very long time.  I have not been in a size 18 since I think I was 18 yrs old. 

I cant imagine being at what they call a NORMAL BMI... I just cant  picture myself at  145 to 150 lbs god I have bones sticking out as it is.   I am impressed with the little NSV's like not hitting the steering wheel in my poor old car when I drive to sitting in a fold up chair.   

well I think I may have to move my personal goal down lower I have 85 lbs to get to 199.99 to me this is truly amazing and crazy.  its slow going but its GOING and that's all that counts.  Today 284 lbs  just 4 lbs to get 100 lbs GONE

well today I am 288 lbs down 92 lbs since I started this journey and so flipping happy with the results so far. I must admit I had my doubts even after meeting so many people in person and watching them drop sizes as I waited for my turn on the bench.  This surgery is truly a miracle of a procedure and so thankful for the ability to have been given a chance at a new beginning.  I have not been this low in weight in over 15 years.  I cry at the silly-est things like the shoulder bone and felt it so much I made it sore LOL.  

I thought my biggest food issues were stress related but I am currently trudging along even with loss of work, still waiting over a month and half for employment insurance to kick in, car needing repairs and unable to afford them to get the car reinspected and not been able to drive in over a month. Plus both of my kids birthdays are this month one on the 6Th and other on the 17Th,  I have learned to not let the major money issues get to me and frustrate me to stuff my face with junk.   

I now have a BMI of 46.4 down from 61.3 drop of 14.9 points at 5 ft 6 in.  I dropped from a tight 30/32 very stretchy jeans to a 22/24 and from 4 XL- 5 XL to a 2 XL -3 XL tops.  I found not only knee caps but shoulder bones too.  and a whole bucket of confidance and pride in myself

I was reminded that I had not updated my profile and I am sorry,  life has been busy with great things happening..



3 months out as of yesterday. I have had NO issues at all and feel wonderful the little NSV are truly amazing. I am now 293 LBS down from the start weight of 380 LBS.. I have found things on my body I forgot I even had like knee caps and wrist bones.... LOL. I am down from a 30/32 tight jeans to a 22/24 jeans and 5 XL top to 3 XL top even my sneakers and socks are loose now. I can walk 2 miles in 30 min without stopping and not needing a puffer.   I have been off my blood pressure meds since 1 week post op. MY only regret is I was not able to do this sooner. Life is good the lbs are coming off slower than some people but the inches are going fast and I am happy with that. I have never felt better and each day I find new and exciting things to be proud of and encourage me to keep moving forward.   

whew my stall finally broke what a relief.  I am now 1 month out and lost a total of 20 lbs post op.  I am a slow looser I guess but a looser just the same but that darn stall didn't help much either LOL.  I am feeling great and now off all blood pressure meds much to my doctors surprise and amazement.  I have so may people who helped me on this journey and that I am so thankful for and unsure how I could ever repay them or thank them for this kindness.  I am truly blessed.  I have never felt such a calm in my hectic life, but right after surgery I felt like a large weight was lifted from me and I can conquer anything.  Strange but beautiful feeling.  God bless and hope everyone have a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and a Joyous Happy New Year
