7 months, 120+ gone!
Jan 27, 2008
Well, I'm officially a solid size 16 right now which shocks the heck out of me. I've lost 120+lbs since my May 30 surgery date. I feel great. I look great (in clothes). I'm now just beginning to become concerned with the extra skin. My lower stomach isn't bad. I expected it would be, but it's not. I'm more concerned about my torso, or middle belly. There is a lot of extra skin in the middle and it's just hanging there. I will eventually have to do something about it.
My upper arms are also an issue. Where as they are not as big as some I've seen, they're pretty ugly to me and althought I said I wouldn't, I may consider having them done in a year or two.
My boobs are nonexistant and what little is left looks like a deflated balloon.
It's now, that I feel so great, that I detest my behavior in letting myself get so big. If I would have been more careful with my body and my health I wouldn't now have to worry about how poor it looks because of my neglect.
Overall though, it's great to be down 6+ sizes in 7 months. I anticipate I'll lose about another 55lbs which will put me at about 150lbs and then I'll be content, for a while. Who knows how far my body will actually want to go though. I may end up even lighter than that!

It's been just a little over 6 months

Since my surgery and I'm happy to say I'm down 107lbs. I've gone from a size 28/30 to a size 14/16 on top and 18/20 on the bottom. I'm really bottom heavy right now.
I average about 3 lbs lost per week. I had a pretty long plateau where I got stuck at about 250 for almost a month, but I kicked up my work-outs at the gym and in about 4 weeks I've dropped from 250 to 230. My goal is now 165 and I'm well on my way.
My waist has gone from a 56 to a size 40 currently (lots of excess skin) and I've lost more than 40 inches all over my body.
I'm currently focusing on tightening up my thighs, butt and upper arms. I'm not too disappointed with how anything looks clothed, but naked is a different story! ;) Husband doesn't seem to mind AT ALL though.

It's finally here!

I got a date on Tuesday when I made the 2 hour drive down from Bay City to Ypsilanti to meet with the clinic. They signed off on my paperwork and weighed me, I was surprisingly down 14lbs (probably water) but nonetheless, that was cool.
I scheduled for my pre-op testing for 5/15 and my surgery date is 5/30! I'm excited and scared. Happy to finally be doing this after over 2 years of turmoil about whether or not I should, and scared about the financial strain this may cause.
But overall, I'm psyched to finally be on the path to good health. God knows I need it, I feel slower and more sloppy every day. It's time to get down to a managable size after 10+ years of being a heffer!
