I'm baaaaack! :)

Apr 18, 2011

It's late, so a short update for now (not that I expect anyone's watching, but it's good to journal this stuff, right?)

I'm 17 months post-op now, and happy with my weight loss of about 130 pounds, but not happy that I seem to be stuck about 50 pounds short of my goal.  I got within 5 pounds of "onederland" and have wavered here for 6 months now.  I don't think I'm done, because I've had no bounce-back...just a major plateau that I know is borne of my lack of exercise and complacency with food.  I'm not being "bad", I'm just not being careful.

At any rate, I feel awesome.  I still have great labs and have no issues that bother me at all.  I just need to get back on track with watching what I eat and taking care with carb/proten/calorie counts.  My hair all grew back in GREAT, and it's softer and healthier than it has been in years.  My skin is also really soft, and the rough dark freckle-things I used to have all over my hands and arms are gone, too.  BONUS!

Even though I haven't lost for 6 months, I did drop another size.  I am in 14 pants now, and large tops.  I dropped 2 shoe sizes, too.  How odd.  I'm actually quite bony in some places (like my butt and fingers), but still have flub in the tummy and thighs to lose.

That's it for now.  Falling asleep...
