6 months post op..milestones and pics
On December 14th 2011 I weighed 280lbs..my surgeon surprised me by saying she could schedule me to have surgery by the end of the year but I needed to lose 15lbs..I managed to lose 14lbs at my preop appointment and had surgery on December 30th weighing ~266-267. I've lost 106lbs from my high weight weighing in at 174 this morning. The things I thought were going to be hard at the begining have gotten so much easier..mainly the not drinking while eating..at first I struggled to wait 30 minutes now I usually wait between 1-2 hours. I enjoy logging my food and I feel like I'm well on my way to making the lifestyle changes I need to in order to maintain my success. I stopped going to the gym so much but I'm getting back into it with a personal goal of spending at least 3 days a week (1 hour each) there.
My hair has been falling out steady for 2 months now but luckily I have a ton of hair..I have nasty looking(IMO) excess skin on my thighs and some on my arms. I've been struggling with body image a lot mainly because I have PCOS and always carried my weight in my stomach so even though I can wear 12's and 13's I feel like I'm 6 months pregnant. I'm hoping this last 30 or so pounds comes off my stomach.
My weightloss breakdown is - Month 1 (-27), Month 2 (-13), Month 3 (-16), Month 4 (-14), Month 5 (-12.5), Month 6 (-10). My husband has also lost 61 lbs in this time.
Thank you all for the amazing support.
