Go Figure..........I Forgot. My 6 Month Surgiversary!

Well folks, yesterday was my 6 month Surgiversary!  My goodness I have come a LONG way in the last 14 months!

14 months ago I quit smoking!  YAY!!!!  And, I haven't looked back even once.  Boy, that was a nasty filthy habit.  Disgusting!

6 months ago I had my last Diet Pepsi.  Holy Cow I drank a lot of them!  I am happy to report I am still Caffeine Free and Soda Pop free. 

I am down 121 pounds and 84 inches!!!  I weighed 297 when I started this journey and this morning I weighed in at 176.  I am headed to 150 so that leaves me 26 pounds to go! 

I wore size 24W relaxed fit jeans and a 2X top.  I can now wear a size 10 skinny fit low rise jeans and a size medium top.   I haven't worn these sizes since high school!  OMG! 

My skin is firming up.  I still have some droopy saggy places but............ plastics will take care of most of it.  I know I want my arms done and a tummy tuck and the old man wants to buy me a brand spanking new set of boobies!  But, will get to goal weight and keep it there for 6 months before embarking on that journey!

Thank you all!!!  Without my OH family and the support everyone of you offers I dont think I would have done quite so well!  Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You!

Congratulations Mo,

This whole WLS is quite amazing isn't it?  I totally feel what your saying about the quiting smoking and diet pepsi.  I personally was a diet Coke aholic before surgery.  And I too am cigarette, caffeine, and soda free. 

What a lifestyle change huh?

Keep up the good work.  "weigh" to rock that tool girl

Thank you!  You're doing pretty awsome yourself!  This stuff ROCKS!!!

congratulations Maureen! You are such an inspiration to me..I too gave up smoking 5 years, 4months ago...my blood pressure dropped like a ton of bricks..couldn't believe the affect smoking has on your body.  Your pictures are awesome to look at...gives me the sense of "I CAN DO THAT TOO" too ^_^  Drive safe to Sac and my thoughts will be with you at the furneral. {{{HUGS}}} to everyone involved...a sad time but a good chance to remind each other what he did to make you laugh and smile.

Wahoo lady!  What an amazing feat you've performed!  This is when I get jealous lol . . . keep it going .  . you are GREAT!

Chris

Wow!!!  A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you.  Your anniversary, quitting smoking, AND giving up Diet Pepsi.  You deserve all the happiness that is in your life (except the funeral you need to attend)!  I wish my significant other wanted to buy me some new boobies       Drive safely.

Hugs to you

I didn't list some of the most important accomplishments!  My pre-diabetes is GONE!  My blood pressure is PERFECT!  My cholesterol is FANTASTIC!  My sleep apnea is GONE and they no longer want to put me on a CPAP machine (which is what kicked this whole journey off!) and I don't snore like a trucker anymore!  I have more energy than should be allowed!  I mowed the lawns yesterday and didn't even break a sweat.  Last year at this time I was huffing and puffing and sweating like a pig pushing that thing across the yard.  My goodnes..........life is good!

Maureen

Time does fly by when yuou are having fun!!!  Congrats!  Keep up the great work.

MoMo!  Congrats to you!  OMG 121 lbs in 6 months that is amazing.  I am like you cig free, and soda free.  I do tea and coffee though.  I think they are going to bury me with a coffee pot and huge supply of coffee!  I just love it.  My goal after plastics is to win a wet t-shirt contest at 60!  I also want to get all the beads at Madi Gras.  My husband first said I could not go then thought about it and said "I Better go with you"!  lol.  Good choice.  I still have about  62lbs from my calculations  37 from the Plastic surgeon guy and and 87 by my doctor.  I personally think my doctor is nuts.  so I am going to stick with 62 that number works for me.  lol.  YOu go girl knock them dead!  You and I have to sit down and plan the Disney trip.  Give me a call sometime.  If you PM a few days ahead with the day and time you are calling I will make sure I am home!  lol. Or make sure the teenager kid is off it!  lol  Have a super day.
