7 months post op
Oct 08, 2009
Hello Everyone...Wow...7 months since surgery! The months are just flying by!
I just posted my 7 month pictures! I do see somewhat of a difference when I look back
at my earlier pics. But in my eyes...I'm still huge!
Still working daily on accepting compliments & being proud & happy with my success to date!
I have lost 130 lbs since beginning this incredible journey & have had many many WOW moments!
I feel wonderful & have been able to stand & walk further/longer & I don't need to find a
chair/bench when I'm out & about!
And when at work in the hospital, I can work a 12 hr shift without having sore legs, feet or back!
That is a big Wow moment for sure!
My closet is bare lol...had to give away most of my clothing but I've been buying a few things
on clearance in smaller sizes. I actually went into Target & was able to buy XL active wear pants
in the "normal" size area!! Some of the shirts I bought from Roaman's online are Large! Go figure!
Now if I could just find a decent bra that fits....lol
It's an amazing feeling & I have no regrets with my decision to have this surgery!
I have not dumped on anything to date but I am still very cautious with my choices. And thank
goodness that I have not had the foamies in many months. I still measure out my food & try & eat
4-5 oz per meal, drink all my water & take my vitamins daily.
My daily calories are 900-1100 per day. I was told to keep below 1200 by my nutritionist.
I have also gone back to the gym to exercise faithfully each week & feel wonderful!
I still go to water aerobics 3x a week, Curves 2x a week (most weeks) &
I joined a regular aerobics class 2x a week also.
Trying to increase the workouts. I am planning to hire a trainer after xmas when my Curves membership is expired.
Then I can focus 100% of my attention to the gym workouts.
So that's all my news for now...I will update again soon.
Hugs
Diane
