5 month update

Apr 08, 2011

Today marks 5 months since surgery.  It is hard to believe 5 months have already gone by.  I hope by 6 months I am ready to share some progress pictures.  I am nervous too, as I can tell weight loss has slowed down....will the next 6 months be painfully slow?

What else?  I feel better with each week; but I am far from healed.  I see I still compare myself and my progress with others.  I know if given the perfect storm, I probably could eat a dozen cookies.  But, I look better, I walk better, I feel better.  I know it will take time to feel comfortable in these 'new shoes' ---I just hope I can get down farther. 

The good:
- I bought size 16 pants, and every pair I tried fit
- I am almost under 190
- I am walking and working out more (it is sad to think of how sedentary I was)
- I am 'just under' the 1/2 to goal mark
- I am still constipated but not as bad!

The bad:
- I want to be thinner, feel more normal...I compare myself to others
- My hair is still falling out
- I don't drink enough water
- I am bad with my vitamins (but have gotten better) but still bad

Good luck to everyone else on their journey.
