6 Month Surgiversary!!

Mar 10, 2009

Today is the 6 month anniversary of my surgery! It is hard to believe that one year ago I was just beginning this journey. I looked back at my journal and I realized that yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the family friend that passed away. Her death really hit me hard and it was what started me on my journey to check into WLS. I did not realize until just now that my 6 month anniversary was tied to the day I found out she had passed.    I know without a doubt that I have made the best decision of my life. Having WLS has saved me in a way I never imagined it would. Prior to Mindy’s death I would have never have dreamed that I would have looked into having this surgery. Now I only wish I would have looked into it sooner! However, perhaps I would have ended up with a different type of surgery and not been as happy with my decision.      So here I sit at 232 lbs. Here is an update on my goals/scale victories:

1. I have lost 115 pounds (this includes the 15 pounds prior to surgery).

2. I have 32 pounds to go to my first major weight goal!

3. I have lost 33.1% of my body weight.

4. I am 10 pounds from my husband's weight.

5. To get to my ideal weight of 160, I have 72 pounds to loase.

6. I have lost 58% of my excess body weight.

7. I have 47 lbs to lose and my BMI will be under 30...   Measurements:   Hips: 49 (-17) Bust: 44 (-16) Waist: 44 (-14 ½)
