6 months Post-op
Jul 27, 2009
Yesterday marked 6 months post-op for me. Back in January if you told me I would weigh 191.4 pounds I would have cursed you up and down and laughed my arse off & called you crazy! I started out 1/2 a year ago at 287 pounds ... I have lost a total of 95.6 pounds! I still can't believe it is me in the mirror or in the pictures ... somedays I find myself feeling & looking like almost 300 pounds ... I wish they did surgery on my brain too!I am alive, I am living life to the fullest & my children really see the difference. I go for walks, work out all the time & actively play with my children. My skin is not as good as I was hoping for ... my legs are jiggly (smaller, but jiggly) & my arms are just horrid ... my belly is gross, but I knew that wouldn't be perfect, considering I had 3 kiddos & a big Panni. I will be getting a tummy tuck hopefully next summer when I get to my goal weight of 160 lbs.
I am so happy that I had RNY. Somedays when nothing seems to sit in my pouch well, has me thinking I regret it some, but it only lasts for a few hours or so & is not very often. I am a new person & I love this new person, I would not change it for the world!
Just some notes of my 6 month surgiversary!
~No complications so far
~my hair is finally not falling out as much
~Carbs are my downfall
~I can not eat pizza dough or breads much
~I love popcorn *usually my LNS*
~I work out 3-5 days a week for at least an hour a day
~I am in a size 12 ... A FREAKING SIZE 12 ... HOLY SHIT
(from a size 22/24 to a 12 in 6 freaking months)~I tend to drink with meals ... I need to stop!
~I had my 1st glass of wine on my 6 month surgiversary ... was good & got a buzz real quick.
~I do not HAVE to nap mid-day anymore
~I can cross my legs UNDER the table!!
~I still don't get enough protein most days ... I need to go to my nutrutionist.
