I am almost 7 months post op.  Weight loss has slowed dramatically but I try to not let it get me down.  I was 150.5 today but it seems like I have been in the 150s since Christmas.  Hmmm guess that is because I have been. lol  For a while there I was gaining and losing the same 2-3 lbs.  I try to not let it worry me because I know that with the daily weighing there will be fluctuations but of course you start to get scared.  The what ifs come up. What if this is it?  What if I never lose more?  What if I have problems with food forever?

At almost seven months post op I am in a size 10.  Those are loose and I do have a few pairs of 8s that fit me perfect but I am trying to not buy anymore clothes until I am a bit more stable.  I splurged on a pair of jeans from The Buckle for our Disneyland trip and they were loose on me about ten minutes into the wear.  Not good!

My tops are a M or L depending.  Boobs are still a 36D but it is a VERY sad D for sure.  My entire life I have had large boobs.  36D when thin and 38DD+ when having weight on me.  THis is the first time I have ever lost weight in my boobs and it is very disturbing.  I am starting to research plastic surgeons for down the road.  I think I can get away with just a tummy tuck and a lift and augmentation but I am having a hard time finding a surgeon I feel comfortable with in my area.  

My next appointment with my doctor is Wednesday.  This will be my 6 month visit, a little late.  Hopefully he thinks I am doing good and on track!

I feel so much better having lost weight.  I have more energy and feel better about actually being in holiday pictures.  The only problem I have right now, besides my stall I have hit, is that my hair is falling out in clumps.  I used to have very very thick hair and right now I am just amazed at how much thinner it is.  

We are going to Disneyland for my son's 3rd birthday the second week of January and I can't wait to retake all the pictures I have up in my house and replace them with pictures where I look good and don't have to be embarrassed when others look at them.  Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

Well here I am almost 5 months along and down to 161.7.  Wow!  I feel so much better and honestly feel on the outside like I always felt on the inside.  It takes seeing pictures now to see how fat I really was.  At the time I never felt that huge and honestly felt I looked ok.  Oh how wrong I was!!!!

The weight loss has slowed down greatly but it is still coming off so I won't complain.  I am having much more loose skin than I had hoped to have.  It sucks but is very worth it.  I see a tummy tuck and a boob job in my very near future.  No bra makes these pancakes look any better.

I will try to upload a new picture in just a few minutes.  They are from thanksgiving but they came out good.

Well today is my three month mark.  I was really hoping to be in the 170s but I am thrilled with my 181.6 that I got when I stepped on the scale this morning.  I was down Sunday to 181.7 but then had went up to 182.8 during the week.  I seem to fluctuate like that.  I get my lowest on the weekends and then during the week I go up a few ounces to a pound and then lose it and a few more on the weekends.  

At three months out I eat lots of chili.  I could probably eat other things but I am the type of person that sticks to something I like and then I eat it until I am sick of it.  Not the best habit in the world.  It doesn't help that I work all day and then go to night class.  I haven't worked out in three weeks with my crazy school schedule so that needs to become a priority again.  I am starting to notice some saggy skin on my lower belly and inner thighs.  The poor boobs are deflated balloons and are going to need some major work.

My current goal is to get to 175 by my 30th birthday on the 7th of November.  I would love to be 155 by Christmas but know that is a lot to hope for.

I am loving life since having my surgery.  It is getting a bit easier to eat and live a normal life so the surgery finally seems worth it.  Plus I am finally seeing a difference and can tell that I have lost weight.  I wore a size 14 pair of jeans yesterday and while they were tight I think they looked good on me.  My students at school are all noticing and commenting so it makes me feel weird and good at the same time.

I am loving Quizno's chili.  Lots of great protein and it taste's so good.  Other than that though I am having a hard time eating.  I am just not hungry and the taste of many things just isn't good to me anymore.  It is so weird to never be hungry.

So the stall is finally over and I am thrilled.  I have lost two lbs in two days and on top of that I started my period which is wonderful news.  I was starting to get a bit worried since they stress not getting pregnant and I can't even imagine that happening.  

I am just so thankful that the scale is moving in the right direction again.  It wouldn't have been so bad if I had shown a loss in inches also but I didn't.  So today I was down to 203.9. Only a few more lbs to go until I am in onederland.  I can't freakin wait for that day.
