6 months post op!

Feb 03, 2012

Wow, can hardly believe it.  I have lost 74 pounds post op and 45 pound pre-op.  That is a total of: 119 pounds.   Wholly Molly!  I have lost more weight than some people weigh.  Unbelievable.  My current weight is at 171, and my goal weight is still at 140.  I am seeing my family doctor on Feb 7th and we will talk about what my final weight should be. 

I do have to have a panectomy because I have a rather large panniculus.  It is big, squishy and ugly.  It is also hampering my size drop.  I have dropped quite a few sizes, but I think until I have this excess skin removed, I might be at the limit of my downward size drop.  I am hoping to be in a size 10 before the end of the year, but it depends on when I can get in to have my surgery consult and actually surgery.

Regardless of my pending plastics, I am darn proud of my accomplishment! 

I am going to Vancouver British Columbia in May to see my hubby's family in May, and they have yet to see me with my weight loss.  It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.  They do not know about my surgery, and I will not be telling them because they can be extremely catty and completely dismiss what I have been able to do. 

I posted a question on the forum, why is it when we start to lose hair due to lack of protein, that we only lose hair from our heads?  Why doesn't other body hair fall out?  I would have thought that all hair follicles would have been affected the same way.  Just something that makes you go Hmmmmmm?

Onward towards goal and maintainence.  I can't wait.
