6 months after surgery

Sep 30, 2009

I hit the 6 months out mark last week.    Wow!!!   What a difference 6 months can make.    It just so happens that my high point on weight was almost exactly one year ago this week.    Wow!!!  What a difference 1 year can make.  

So, from my high point of 303 pounds on Sept 16, 2008, here are some of the significant changes:

Weight -- 303 to 181 --  122 lbs lost forever
Waist -- 48 inches (stretch waist band -- probably should have been 50) to 38 inches (too big but 36's don't fit right because of extra skin)
Neck size -- 20 1/2 inches to 15 1/2 inches
Shirt size -- XXXL to Large (bordering on Medium for some cuts)
Exercise -- none to 3.33 miles/day in 50 mins 5 times a week,  weights one night a week, EA Active one night a week.
BP --  145/90  to 118/72
Sleep Apnea -- still using CPAP but I dropped the pressure from 14 to 10.  Going in for a new sleep study this week -- hopefully I can get rid of the CPAP machine I've been on for 17 years.
Migraines -- 20 per month to 1 or 2 a month

Wow.   I feel so much better.
