So I had my 6 month post op appointment today - 3 days early but oh well lol.

My surgeon seemed to be really pleased with my progress so far, stating that I'd lost over 50% now of my excess body weight. He said that his goal for me would be to get to 87kgs, as that will put me out of the health risk category. He said if I wanted to go down further than that though, he's happy to help me get there He did caution me on setting my personal goal too low, as he said that with my build and height, I'll probably be quite thin at 70kgs. Said that he has often seen people set a low goal and then struggle pretty hard for the last 10kgs, making them unhappy and frustrated.

Honestly, if I can shop in regular stores, in the regular sized section, I'll be happy lol, as I haven't done that in years.

Over 50 lbs lost now and I still can't see it when I look in the mirror, but I guess that's just my head playing funny buggers on me. Hoping to start seeing a psychologist soon, who specializes in eating disorders, to work on those issues.

Anyway, won't go on about me lol, just wanted to share, as I'm feeling quite good today

Way to go Parvathi!! Your photos are proof that you are kicking some major @$$
