6 months out.....

Apr 28, 2010

 I am now 6 months out from my gastrectomy and down a total of 95 lbs from the beginning of my journey!  I feel AWESOME!! And don't look so bad either!!  I do have some saggy skin in my tummy and thigh area.  How can I not??  I need to exercise LOTS more then I do.  I have figured out that if I eat too many carbs I do not lose weight as fast, the minute I ramp up the protein I lose at a steady pace again!!  I have been losing hair at a decent rate.  I am using a special shampoo and treatment to help that.   My hair is long enough now though I can pull it back in a ponytail and go.   I  have more energy then I have had in YEARS!!   It is really nice to fit in "regular" size clothes again.  I am now wearing 12 and 14 size clothes.  Been looking for a swimming suit and that has been irritating!!  LOL  I need support on top, because they "girls" haven't gone down too much and need to cover up the saggy skin in the bottom area!!  But Hey!  At least it isn't plus size!! :)  I will post a "after" pic on here soon. Anyone interested in surgery please feel free to contact me.  I do not get on here much but you can email me at [email protected] and I would be happy to try to answer any questions you may have.  Have a Great Journey!!
