Hi guys. It's been a WILD spring. My Mom passed away (she was my best friend...we had a GREAT relationship and she will be sorely missed in my life) in April, and things kindof went south after that. The next month was spent with my brother going through things at the house, putting it on the market, making arrangements, etc. To say I have been exhausted is an understatement. Then on TOP of that I put a contract down on a house two weeks after she passed, while things were still chaotic, and the last two months have been the rollercoaster ride to close the sale and get in. I had not stepped on a scale since before April, and just did today, finding that I have lost MORE! Okay guys, here's a kick in the pants...I now have hit the 130's for the first time since 1983!!!!! I've got a pretty major case of the sags, but when thinking of the alternative, I wouldn't give it up! Gravity and old age have set in to redistribute my lumps and bumps and lo and behod, I have NO MORE SADDLEBAGS!!!!! I think they dropped to my knees, but what the heck, right? My butt has dropped and is pretty innocuous now. I can wear tight little tops and not feel like a complete PEAR. I wear sleeveless shirts!!!! My collar bones stick out!!!! I can move, get up and down, stand, walk, go upand down stairs without taking a nap between landings...LIFE IS SWEET!!!! Hang in there people! It is what you put into it! ;)

Kacee,

I was sorry to hear you lost your MOM. I do have to tell you what an inspiration you are to those of us who are recently banded. I was banded on 7/ll and I hope I do nearly as well as you. Congratulations on your new house and new body.

Hi Kacee,

I am so sorry about your mom and all the other things life has handed you. It will get better - hang in there ;)

Thanks for posting this. I can't believe you are in the 130's!!! That is a number that is so foreign to me (any number in the 100's is) and it's good to hear that you can wear sleevless, have collarbones and are feeling good about yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys! I honestly don't think I could have gotten through all that has gone on in the past several months with all the weight I started with. I think this has given me the energy to persevere. Am just starting to get settled now in my new BEAUTIFUL home with tons of windows looking out onto a defunct golf course, and my wonderful 4 chihuahuas, 5 parakeets, 9 cocktiels and 1 red lored Amazon parrot. We are a full, happy, LOUD busy house! (Yes, I know it looks like I am becoming the neighborhood "crazy cat lady"...)...;)

Yep, threw in the towel and got a revision. No more band!

No clue about Terridoodle, I don't pay attention.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
