6 Months

May 13, 2009

So today is my sixth month surgiversary and I wanted to reflect on some of the changes that I have gone through in the last six months:

The good:
Sugery weight 324lbs weight today 226lbs only two lbs away from 100 lbs lost since surgery.
No more blood pressure meds
Blood sugar is normal/low
I can be active without my joints killing me.
I sleep better at night
I have waaayyy more energy.
I went from a size 28 pants to a size 16 pants.
I went from  5x top to a 3x top could be smaller but I have to fit the top to my breasts and my arms.

The struggles:

I have lost only 1 lb in the last week. (frustrating)
The mental part of this process has been hard. I still can't see the change in my body unless I look at pics.
I am still uncomfortable with the increase in attention from men and I feel like I am being really unfriendly/rude sometimes but I just want to be left alone most of the time.
I am a lot more aggressive/intolerant and I am not sure if it is because of the hormones being released as I lose weight but it is a little disconcerting.
I know that I will need/want plastic surgery on my arms and breasts so I have to start saving now.

I am a work in progress and I am sure that there will be more changes to come.
