Almost 6-months post-op

May 31, 2011

   Well, I'm nearly 6-months post-op and am just 18.5 lbs away from my goal weight.  I can't believe it!  I feel absolutely awesome and my 6-month labs all came back normal.  My only complaint?  Trying to keep up with changing clothes sizes!  Lol!  Pre-surgery, I was wearing size 18 pants and 2x & 3x shirts/blouses.  Now, size 6 pants are getting baggy and a medium shirt is loose.

For others who might be reading this blog who have just had surgery or will be having surgery soon is, leggings are great for going through the initial rapid weight-loss phase.  One size will cover a pretty broad range and they come in a variety of colors & textures.  I found some at Walmart for $5 a pair and they've held up real well.  If you're a real fashionista, local thrift stores are a great place to find inexpensive, good quality clothing.  For me, the local swap meet was agreat place to pick up some nice, brand-new t-shirts on the cheap - 5 for $20!  Can't beat that.  Now, it's time to work on the body image!
