6 month Check-up today
I had my 6 month visit w/ my WLS surgeon, Dr. Scarborough today. All went well. He told me I looked good. He's pretty shy and quiet, so I thought that was great coming from a man of few words, especially for an almost 47 year old woman. I have lost 110 lbs. to date. Happy w/ the results and can finally see it in the mirror. I also see my sister staring back at me every once in a while. I talked to her about that since she's the skinny, pretty, outgoing one. She's okay w/ that. Even her son said the other day, "You look like my mom!" I told her other people have been telling me that. We've never looked just alike, just similar. Everyone at work has been pumping me up with wonderful comments about how good I look. I'm not always good about accepting compliments.
My dr. and I talked about my goal weight. I told him I'd like to be at 150, but could live w/ a little higher weight. He said as long as I got down to 172, I would be considered a success. He said my progress so far is really good. I had my blood drawn, so we'll see those results in a few days.
I had to go buy another bra today to lift the girls back up. I only bought one, but had gone from a 46 E to a 42 E in 2 months. What a difference it made. Sometimes I hold up smaller clothes and think, I can't fit in that and then realize, yeah, I've already worn it and it fits just fine.
Happy w/ my progress and feeling good about myself
