I am now 4 and a half months post op... I have gone from weight on the day of my revision to 260 to my current weight of 194. It feels so good.  I like where I am now.

I wore a size 22W to a size 14/16.  I have more energy. I'd like more yet, but I'm working on it.  


I'm starting to get attention, some good and some not.  I had one person ask if I was ok, because I'd lost so much weight.  I have had men turning heads and noticing me.  I've also had the experience where people now want my opinion on things, and treat me like I'm human, because I'm not so fat.  My goal is to get a normal BMI, but  I know because I'm a revision I may or may not get there.  Time will tell.   I'm glad to be healthier.  That's what was important.

Saw my surgeon's pa (Robert McCann) this week. And he was pleased with my progress.  I am too. He did some labs because I'm tired, and getting a lot of leg cramps, which could be related to my back.   Love how he's staying on top of me and my care.  

I don't like their scale however. It always says I'm 4 pounds above where I am.  That day it put me over 200 pounds, today it wouldn't.  I'm learning to really watch how I eat.  I love my RNY.
