6 months post-op

Apr 10, 2013

Greetings!  I haven't written in a while.  The last few months have been really rough on a personal level, not because of my surgery or weight loss, but because of other issues that have been going on.  It appears that those things are getting better or will be resolved soon, so things are looking up.  I am now down 86 lbs in just six months since my surgery date of 10/8/12.  I can barely believe it sometimes.  I have gone from a 3x usually being too tight to buying XL shirts in the normal section of the store - no more 'women's' sizes for me!   When clients who I haven't seen come in they barely recognize me.  My husband calls me "flaca" now - which is Spanish for 'skinny'.  I haven't had migraines since I recovered from my surgery.  I am off all my blood pressure meds except a small dose water pill once a day.  When I came home from the hospital, I was on insulin because I was diagnosed with diabetes after my surgery - I am no longer taking the insulin and have mostly normal fasting blood sugar levels (in the range of 90 to 110).  I still take 500 mg of Metformin 2x a day - but that will probably be for life.  I feel great, look great - according to friends and family - and am much healthier!  I am only about 20 lbs from reaching my original goal - again, it is hard to believe!  

Here's to all of our continued success!
