I have been at a stall for a few weeks now. But my measurements are down. Been having some depression and a lot of pain. Today was my 6 month check up, but I had to cancel because I am sick! (Strep throat is floating around our household!) so i need to reschedule. Weight was 350. Day of Surgery I was 260. 6 months 207. My measurements blew me away!

1/2016- 4/25/18

Weight 350 - 207 = 143 lbs

Bust 53” - 44 1/2” = 8.5”

Waist 48” - 40” = 8”

Hips 59” - 48 1/2 “ = 10.5”

R arm 17” - 14 1/2” = 2.5”

L arm 17” - 14 1/2” = 2.5”

R thigh - 29.5” - 25” = 4.5”

L thigh - 29” - 25” = 4”

40.5” total lost! I dont like my scale!

Getting there!

I am going to try to post some pics later. I have lost 79 lbs from my highest. I am 5'10" and now at 184....I look good!! My face looks a bit thin, but I'm ok with it. I was having a bit of thinning hair but not too badly...and it seems to be thickening up again. I am Soooooooo happy that I had this surgery. Like, ridiculously happy. 79 lbs gone!

I am eating so much less, Mostly healthy foods, staying active. My goal is 170-175....so I am pretty close.

79 lbs gone in just a bit over 6 months!!!:D

Well today I hit a milestone that I never would have dreamed possible at the beginning of this journey. I am now officially in onederland as I think it’s referred to around here. This also puts me over the 100lb mark of weight loss since surgery as well. I have actually reached a point now where I no longer have a goal weight. I am in the “healthy” or “normal” range for BMI, and my only goal now is to keep working to get my body to where I want it to be strength wise.

Contrasting over 11.5 months.

First pic in red beanie is from mid-May 2017 ... five months before surgery and about 177kg (390 pounds). BMI = 57.13

Second pic from less than two weeks ago (i.e late April) ... six and a bit months post surgery ... at 131kg (289 pounds) & BMI 42.3.

The two pics were taken on the same verandah less than a metre apart 11.5 months time-lapse. Interesting that I happened to be wearing the same sports pullover/top both days. (There's a 'shipload' of spare space in that top now!)

Trying to level off somewhere around 210. I've been maintaining for a couple weeks and then go down a half pound or a pound. It's the flab on my gut!! I'm 90% certain I'll have TT in the winter...I feel like I won't be "complete" until that flab/skin is gone.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
