6 months post op

Jan 12, 2010

soooo 6 months has gone by and I have hit some frustrating points in my journey..... but I am sooooo glad that I had the lap band done.  I am half way to my goal of 180.  I only have 55 pounds left to loose.  My goal is to loose the rest of the weight by June and then try to get his extra skin on my tummy removed.  I think that is the most frustrating part of the process for me.  I have had numerous rashes underneath the extra skin and have been given creams and medicine.  It always goes away but comes back.   So I take that part day by day......  The holidays went well.... I remember this time last year I ate soooo much that I gained 10 pounds.  This year was the complete opposite.....It felt good to be in control of my eating and loose weight during the holiday season.  I went and had my band filled Im up to 5.40 in my band.  I did that on the 23rd of dec and have been dropping weight again.

I was looking at family photos from the prior years and I dont recognize the person in those photos.  Its kinda funny how loosing weight transforms you as a person. This year I went out for New Years and wore a sexy outfit.  I felt attractive and for the first time in a long time held my head high.   Im looking forward to the new year and wondering what will come..... Iam hoping for a new year full of living and loving.

PS  planning on doing a 5k run in november.
