6 months...1/2 a year...life changing

Apr 28, 2010

It has been 6 months since my surgery and I am down 81lbs.  I am not taking High blood pressure meds, my diabetes is in check and no more meds, and my arthiritis in the knees is gone.  My only food issue is with eggs.  They don't taste good, and they don't go down no matter how I cook them.  I have been vigilant taking protein, and vitamins including multi, biotin, and B12.  I have only had slight hair loss.  I have gone from size 24 to size 16 so far.  I have noticed a big slow down and hit a lot of plateaus.  Sometimes I will drop and regain a couple of pounds and therefore stay at the same weight for weeks at a time.  That is frustrating, but then I know I can kick up the loss by doing more excercise.  I find that getting my full amount of liquids in is still a challenge.  Some of my 6 month WOW moments are:

*Crossing my legs
*Buying clothes off the rack
*Seeing my shadow and being surprised how small it has become
*Seat belt in the airplane buckles with room, and the tray table isn't hitting my belly anymore
*Skiing all day without getting leg cramps and not having to stop in between runs
* Friends I haven't seen in 6 months being blown away at my new younger, thinner look
