6 MONTH CHECK IN: CURRENT WEIGHT: 175lbs -107LBS

Aug 22, 2012

Wow, it doesn’t seem like it’s been 6 months! I am truly thankful to have had success with my surgery and losing 107lbs all in 6 months. I’m a person of faith and I know that this wouldn’t be possible, these results wouldn’t be possible without God by my side. I look at where I was this time last year, I think I was about 250lbs, miserable, just turned 28 years old, I was out of breath, tired all of the time, achy joints, didn’t have the stamina to play with my children, I was feel very hopeless, unsure about myself little did I know that 1 year later I would be a completely different person.

These have been some of the greatest months of my entire adult life. Why….because I’ve accomplished every single goal that I’ve set for myself, not just weight loss but other personal goals. I feel recharged and refreshed, like I’m able to conquer the world lol…My eating has picked up, I get hungry now. I do eat some of the “bad” foods (a cookie or two, or a half of a cupcake) occasionally but again like I said of several of my posts, after achieving this goal, I refuse to deny myself. Mainly I stick to my proteins (meats), kidney beans, maybe once a week I’ll do a saffron rice, mashed potato, or mac and cheese but only a few spoons. My tummy hurts so bad if I even try to overeat. I’m more comfy with dinning out now. Took the kids to Chick fil A recently did most of a kids meal, with no issue. I feel like for once I can eat like a normal person.

SKIN:

I think beginning in October/Nov, I’m going to do consultations with surgeon’s because I will need some nipping and tucking lol…my boobies are still large 38DD, I was originally a 44DD, I’d like to get them reduced and lifted. And my tummy, I have a pouch, I’d like to get some of the saggy skin removed and the incision scar. But guess what, if I don’t I’ll be fine, it’s not shockingly bad J

What else, nothing much I guess. I’m just so damn happy now a days! I’m actually going in for my 6 mth appt on Friday, I can’t wait! I’ll update my blog after I get all my labs back sometime next week. I know everything is fine like it was last time, until then, take care!
