6 Months PO Update

6 Month Post Op Apt today! Whaaaaa??

Stats: F, 23, 5'6 Hw:300 SurgW:275 Cw: 178lb!! 23 pounds till a healthy BMI. 25-55 pounds till goal

I've lost 122 pounds! My BMI has dropped from 48 to 28. I'm over the moon happy. I feel so much better and am so much stronger.

My relationship with food and understanding of nutrion is so much healthier. My surgeon is so proud of me. I'm really proud of me.

Inspite of some difficulties early out, I would do it again. I'm excited for what the future holds.

that being said, I'm really scared too. I'm scared that I'll slip up or fall back into bad habits. I feel confident that this is permanent, but I'm not naïve to the fact that I could stop losing weight and start gaining any minute if I'm not vigilant. I want this to be for life.

That is amazing for 6 months out! Congrats!

Thanks!!

Congrats on your success!

Thanks!

Congrats on your amazing loss! Being scared that you could regain is, in my opinion, good. I want to have that awareness always, because it will help me to stay on the straight and narrow.

That's a great point. I just need to make sure it's a healthy fear, I think, not a subversive form of anxiety.

Wow...great stats!!! Congratulations!

Enjoy your victories but it's good to be aware of downfalls too.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

First off - Congrats on your success so far! already down to a 28 BMI is fantastic!


I think that you seem like your head is in the right place. Confident and proud and still aware that this is a lifelong change. That the work will never end, but that life will be so much better for all that work. Good for you!!!
