25 Weeks Post-Op

Nov 17, 2009

Wow!  I can't believe I've made it 6 months already!  The time has flown by.  It doesn't seem like it's been that long!  I've lost a total of 65 lbs so far. I am only 10 lbs away from my goal!!    My plan is to make it by X-mas - I hope I do! 

I have an interview tomorrow, so I needed a new suit.  The last suit I had from last year is a size 18 - much to large for me now.  You couldn't believe how nice it felt to walk into Macy's, pick out a size 12 suit right off the rack and have it fit perfectly!!  Man I love that!  I don't think that feeling will EVER get old for me!  It's so weird, I will look at myself (like after a shower) and it's like "Who's body is this?  I don't recognize it!" 

The only places I have really noticed any excess skin is my inner thighs (& who likes that area anyway?) and right below my butt cheeks.  Hopefully with time and exercise that will get better - but it's not like anyone really sees that anyway!!  I think because of those two areas, I will still always buy a swimsuit that has the little skirt.  Either that or I'll always have to wear the skirt cover-up.  Considering though, it's not too bad!

My only other real problem is the hair loss.  I can really notice it now.  I hope that stops soon!  Even my husband said he could tell that I'm thinning out.  I've tried to up my protein, but it doesn't seem to help.

Catch Ya Later,         Marion
