Month 9 +

Aug 08, 2011

Okay, so I didn't exactly post right at month 9 but life has been busy. Taking a biology class with a lab at my age is quite a challenge. We're also doing some renovation around the house. Back to VSG...

On July 3rd, I actually went under my doctor's goal weight of 164 at 163.8. However, that didn't last long as I began to regain a few pounds. I'm not exactly sure what happened...I actually think I wasn't eating /drinking enough and my body started to shut down on the weight loss front. I'm happy to say by the end of the month I was actually back down to the 163....and I'm now at 161.4 as of this morning (8/8/11). I still think I'd like to end up 150 to 155lbs but not sure how real that will be for me unless I have some of the loose skin removed. Of course, the breast implants may add weight ;-) If I ever get to have them.

I'm proud to say that I have joined a excercise class at work two days a week I get my but kicked...still working on what to do the rest of the week, but I'm getting there.

I'm in a 10 and could even go to a size 8 in dress pants (not jeans) and wear a Medium top in most things. I don't think I'll get any smaller on the top since I'm pretty boney there already. If I get a tummy tuck, I'm sure the 8's will fit in most styles. I can't believe I'm even typing this...a size 8 was never in my wildest dreams...size 14 was my dream size!

This surgery has been a lifesaver and I have no regrets! I hope everyone who reads this has great success with their own weight loss journey.

Hugs! Cathy
