5 Months Post Op
Apr 20, 2010
Saturday the 17th was my 5 month anniversary. The weight loss has really slowed, but I still take it one day at a time. Including my pre-op diet weight I have officially lost 69 pounds. Since the day of surgery, I have lost 61 pounds. Sixty-one pounds in 5 months. I have done that several times before on my own in actually less time, but the difference this time is I am consciously making a lifestyle change. I was never able to accomplish that before.
I am still very happy with my progress, and I reached another goal. Although I did not list it among my goals, as of yesterday I weigh 1.5 pounds less than my husband. For the first time in almost 6 years, I weigh less than he does. For me that has always been a psychological roadblock because my husband has always been very weight and health conscious.
I continue to stay on this site in order to lean all I can from the veterans. I am really beginning to understand maintenance is not an easy road, and it will take a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve and maintain that optimum health and weight. I take nothing for granted.
