5 months post-op today
on 2/19/08 9:34 pm - IN
Well, I'm 5 months out now. I weighed myself today and I'm down 99 pounds. Frickin' 99!!! Couldn't be the magic 100, could it!?!?! :) Oh well, I'll just wait another day or two and I'll be at the century mark.
I was thinking on the way to work what a whirlwind this has been and how strange it is to now weigh less than I have since 1994. I've gone from a size 4X to just a 1X and, of course, I'm getting some saggy skin. Most of the places I have it in, I'm not too worried about because I know that when I start building muscle, it will be fine. The pooch part is what I don't like but, at 99 pounds down, I'll deal with it later. I still want to lose another 34 pounds to put me at an even 200 and then, work out and bulk back up to 220-225. I think I can do that.
Nonetheless, 5 months down, lifetime to go...so far, not bad, huh?

Great job. I am 10 months out and the skin is starting to get better. Give it time. I think they want you to wait 2 years or so for all things to settle in. I have found the joy of compression wear. Sure helps to keep things under control for now. WalMart has the cheapest prices in the mens department. E
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou has done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
