Almost 5 months out

Jun 02, 2011

What a journey this has been!  On June 6th I will be exactly 5 month out from the VSG surgery I had in TJ Mexico on Jan 6th with Dr Kelly.  

I started this journey at 239.8 pounds.  Today I am exactly 175 - I have lost just under 65 pounds and am 20 pounds from my goal of 155.   What has changed?

Jeans - Went from size 16 to size 10.  I actually fit into a pair of size 8 Levis last week!
Tops - from a XL to a Med.
Shoes - from size 8 to size 7/7.5 depending on style

Attitude - hated the woman I saw in the mirror - beginning to really like the person I see!
Confidence has gone from zero to 10!

Hair from fine to ... almost gone.  This is the only thing I do not like about my sleeve.  Hoping it is temporary!  Other than that no complaints!  Weight loss has slowed down slightly but most weeks still losing 1-2 pounds - so I am slowly creeping to my next mini goal of 170 by the 4th of July.  The journey has been pretty uneventful which I am thankful for.  No complications, no drama!  I love my sleeve!  I will post pictures as soon as I make my next mini goal of 170.

Blessings on your journey!
