9 months post op

Jul 06, 2010

Wow! I never would have believed it if someone told me I would look this good only 9 months post op. I had my 9 month post op appointment today and even though I am almost 5 months pregnant I have officially lost 100 pounds since my surgery on September 21, 2009. That is a total of 152 pounds from my heaviest weight when I decided I had to change my life. This definitely has changed my life and that of those around me as well. I have such a great support system and couldn't have done it without my friends and family. I never ever would have thought I'd go from a size 22-24 to a 2-4 today. I'm wearing a size Small in maternity clothes and 4 years ago I had to order plus size ugly maternity clothes because I couldn't fit into anything I wore sweat pants and my hubby's shirts until they got to small. Unbelievable. I have had several people ask me recently about my experience and ask for my guidance as they take the next step in their lives to become healthy. It makes me feel really good to be able to help someone else take the next step in their journeys.
