Sorry that I'm late with the 6th month post op but today is my seventh month since my surgery. I am just over filled with joy and the weight I have lost. I am now a very busy woman lol I am no longer bounded to my home. I am loving and living life. I am also noticing that people are not staring at me the way that they used to when they see me. It's not all I still get some stares and looks even laughter and whispers when some see me but it no longer bothers me because I know when I just come from and where I am going. Yay Me!!!  lol. I am just so happy and so is my husband ha ha ha.... The Lord is so good and really has bought me from a long ways...Everyday I awaken mentally and physically well is a blessing. 

Okay now for my stats....in my 6th month I weighed 370 in that month I lost only 4 pounds..but that's okay I was told that in the 6th month it would slow down.. So that was exactly 100 pounds since surgery and 128 pounds total.

For my 7th month I now weigh 353..A total of 17 pounds this month and an overall total of 145 pounds. I'm not done yet. I still have another 193 pounds to lose. I know that it wont be done in the next 6 months but I'm going to strive everyday to get to my goal which is 160.

I made the five month mark last week so I'm a bit late. This month changed a few things for me. My clothing size has went down a good bit so now I'm doing a bit of shopping. Also my feet are not as wide as they used to be. Who would have guessed that the width of your feet would slim down as well....lol  I'm so please with the progress so far. I have to admit that I have stepped off track a few times but I'm human right? I love the fact that I can get in some positions that I could not before (some of you will know what I'm talking about)..lol God is good and life is grand. Still have a good ways to go but I'll get there...So for my stats....

498 was starting weight/ 470 surgery weight/ Last Month 391/ This month 374/ That's a total of 17 pounds this month. I've lost 96 pounds since surgery & 124 pounds total.

Yesterday marked my official four month post op. I am very pleased in what I have accomplished in this time. I am moving, breathing, and even sleeping better than I have for a very long time. It feels so great not to have to say four hundred and whatever pounds anymore. I'm still on the protein and it's funny now bc I've grown to actually like it and in the beginning i was like ewwwww...lol. I use Atkins and Designer's Whey...great stuff. Sometimes I find myself craving the bad foods but I have control so much better than I used to. If I was craving something starchy or sweet and didn't get it then I would develop a headache until I got it. I don't know if that was just a mental thing or what but it's no longer like that now. I have eaten a Mc Donald's regular small hamburger...well half of it because I still get full really fast. I know I still have a long journey to go. I'm no longer obsessed with the numbers on the scale...I can see the weight loss in my clothing and all the extra hanging skin..lol

Stats: Started @ 498 / Surgery Weight 470 / Last month  409 / This month 391 / So that's a total of 18 pounds this month. I've lost 78 pounds since surgery / 107 pounds total.

Today marks the three month post op. I must say that I am please with my progress. I have been really getting in the protein and moving around much more. This week I lost 7 pounds alone. My goal is to be under 400 pounds by Christmas. This is my gift to myself. I really hope I can lose these 9 pounds left. I'm going to work really hard this week and walk the track 2 times a day instead of one. I'm also going to do protein shakes all day except for dinner which is a small portion anyway because of my inability to eat much. I love the fact that still after a few bites I can't eat anymore. I must say that I'm blessed to have lived with this weight for quite some time and not have had any co morbidities. Then to have WLS and still no complications after is a wonderful feeling. So I thank God for all his blessings.

Okay so as far as the stats go...As you know when I first started this journey I was 498 and surgery weight 470...Last month I was 432 and this month I'm 409 so that's a total of  23 pounds lost this month/ 66 pounds since surgery/ 81 pounds total.

Okay so here I am as promised to give an update about my loss.  Was a bit successful but not much. However my doctor assures me that I'm good and my weight loss is on track. I am fully healed and have stopped most of the nausea. (Thank God)... So here is my progress so far. I was 431 last update and now I'm 427 which is only 4 pounds. So that makes me with a loss since surgery 43 pounds/ 63 pounds total. Sometimes I feel like all the excitement is just gone and I feel like it was all for nothing. But I also blame myself as well. I am not exercising as much as I should because I just don't have the energy to get up and get going. I still find that I tired out so fast when I go to the Y. I know it sound like excuses but this is a body of 10+ years with no type of muscle use. I know that there has to be something more that I can do. If you have any suggestions for me I'm willing to try something different. Thanks...Will update next month to let you know my progress...Wish me weight loss
