Still slow but still going!

Oct 13, 2009

I am now down by 103 lbs. The loss is slow now, but that is to be expected at this point. They say you can expect to lose about 70 % of your excess body wieght with the help of Roux - en- Y. I'd have to guess that I have lost that much. I have 17 lbs to go to hit my goal of 150 lbs. And 13 to go to hit the normal BMI range. I am really looking forward to this! It is one of the milestones I see as profound. Probably the biggest milestone really, after so many years of fighting obesity.

I would be thrilled if I were losing a bit quicker, but to be honest, I am not disappointed, as I am still going in the right direction, and the closer one is to a normal weight, the slower it comes off. I just continue to try my best to make the next right choice, and to do the next right thing.

I am really hitting a point where I am considering Plastic surgery more and more. It seems that the last 10 lbs I have lost has left me with a bit more sagging skin than I want to live with forever. For a while I thought I would be okay without plastics, but not too sure on that now. My tummy skin is loose and when i wear pants, I always have that loose skin that bubbles over the waist band and looks like a fat roll. I must admit, that has me very self conscious. That and my gobbler under my chin..lol. We shall see.
