5 Months Post-Op

Highest weight 307

Weight day of surgery 292

Today = 219

November was a LONG stall - didn't lose a pound for 23 days...starting losing again around the holidays. This was also the month I started to C25K...go figure! I am wearing 14/16 clothes, and feel great. I am not letting stalls bother me, or even a measily 7 pound loss for a month bother me - it's 7 more pounds gone! According to the BMI chart, in 19 more [pounds, I will no longer be obese, another 20 after that and I won't be overweight!

I have done things I would have never done before - canoeing and kayaking with my kids, jumping off a diving board, fit comfortably in student desks at school, going horseback riding this Saturday.....all successes!

I hate my thinning hair, but love how clothes fit me now.

I regret nothing - it is the best thing I have ever some!

I struggle to hit my Protein - just get full easy!

I struggle to get my Water in - FORCE myself to drink.

I love Advocare's Spark - helps with my energy levels and just had my first Vitamin B shot the other day because I forget to take my Vitamins and sublingual pills.

A normal day of eating for me - an egg and piece of bacon or ham for Breakfast, tuna and a few crackers for lunch, whatever protein we have for dinner with a few veggies...

I CAN eat whatever I want - haven't puked once or been in pain....I have to CHOOSE the right stuff to put in my body....chips are way too easy - BEWARE!

I hope anyone on the fence goes for it. BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF!!!

You look fantastic! As for the weight stall - 7 lbs is nothing to scoff at :) I have lost 15 pre-op and I was feeling badly about not losing more so far. Then I picked up a ten pound weight and realized just exactly how much that was! It put it in to perspective.

Congratulations,great job,keep it up :)

Doing fantastic...your looking great:). Your face is so thin, very pretty.

Awesome story and awesome job.
