Well today I hit 11 months post op and I am still amazed when I see pics of me. The other day someone showed me some pictures from a shower and I caught myself asking who the woman in the picture was...it was me!!! Weight loss is going much more slowly now but it is still going downward so I am happy. My doctor say he is extremely happy and actually said I have lost everything he expected me to (over 1/3 of my body weight). The big areas I have to focus on are snacking and taking my vitamins. As my appetite has come back I find myself snacking when bored at home, so I am trying to keep busy. I can't believe it has almost been one year, what an amazing journey this has been. Truly worth everything.

Well I just hit 8 months post op and things are going wonderfully. I have now gone under 200 pounds for the first time in who knows how long. For the first time in my life I have two new hobbies: shopping and exercise. I can't believe it now but I am right on the cusp of being able to shop in the Misses section of the store!!!! This has been the best decision I have ever made in my life. I feel so much more energetic and more comfortable with myself. No it hasn't been easy but it has definitely been worth it.

Well I am now at 5.5 months post-op and inching up on the 6 month date I keep hearing about. I am getting closer and closer to the 100 pound mark and hope to reach it within the next 2 months. My birthday is on January 28th and I hope that 100 pound mark will be my birthday gift to myself. As of today I am down 85-90 pounds depending on which scale I follow. Last week I got back from a cruise and amazingly everything went very well. I was able to eat everything I wanted and still lost 5 pounds. The exercising is the key and boy does it make me feel good. I did have two occasions of throwing up on the ship but I caused it on myself by talking too much while eating and not paying attention. On the down side I was diagnosed with a hernia a few weeks ago but even with that I am see it as a positive as it might help qualify me for surgery which will allow my tummy tuck next year :) So far so good and 5.5 months later I don't regret a thing.

Today makes three months since my surgery and I just got back from my checkup with my surgeon. According to his scale I have lost 57 pounds, of course I like my home scale better that has me losing 60 pounds :) Things are going wonderfully. I am eating well and while I have had issues with throwing up that is resolving itself. I just have to keep reminding myself not to eat too quick and to chew my food well. I am so happy I did this, for the first time in years I am beginning to enjoy life again and that says it all.
