I'm celebrating my 6th year of surgery this week. I did go back up a few pounds from my lowest but my body seems to have settled where it's happy. Still love shopping at the normal store and being able to do any activity I want. Just got back from a vacation to Hawaii with my son and husband and loved being able to zip line and not worry about the weight restrictions, etc. Life is good!

I am getting very anxious because I have stalled since the 2nd week of January.  This is the first time I've had this happen and from reading other peoples pages I know it's normal and I'm lucky that it hasn't happened more frequently but it's still FRUSTRATING!  I have been reading the forums and am really finding motivation and ideas there.  I am trying to increase my protein and water and get in more exercise so we'll see if anything helps.  I have my 9 month check up February 5th and I really would like to be down more by then.

I am down to 189.  Things are moving VERY slowly but still moving.  I feel great and bought some new clothes.  It feels WONDERFUL to shop in the "normal" store finally!

I finally made it!  197 - just before my 6 month follow up which is the day after tomorrow.  I'm so happy!!

I had to update because I finally broke down and bought some pants last night.  I'd gone through all the sizes in my closet and it was getting ridiculous!  I have gone from a womens 28 to a womens 16 in pants and a 14 in skirts - so fun!!

I can't believe I'm so bad about updating.  I'm also really upset because I've gotten a few personal messages but the system didn't send me an email notification and I forget to check so these people must think I am ignoring them - AWFUL! 

Anway - things are great - I'm feeling great.  I'm down 82 lbs and getting ready for my 6th month check up November 5th.  I also think the hair loss has slowed and that is a good thing!

 

It has been a long hard month.  My weight loss has slowed to a crawl and I'm very frustrated.  I feel like it's too early in the process to have this be normal.  I am only down 5 lbs this month.  I have tried to up my excercise and water.  That's hopefully going to kick start me - otherwise I'm planning on doing a few days of liquids only and see if that does any good.  Still happy I had the surgery.  Feeling WAY better than I did before and enjoying life more!

I had my 3 month check up and all the blood work came back good.  I'm down 55 lbs as of this morning so that is exciting!  Things are staying down a little better and I'm feeling more brave in my food choices.  I'm feeling very positive about the whole thing - can't wait to lose the next 30 and finally be under 200!!

Things are staying down better and I'm down 47 lbs!  I'm almost to the 50 lb point - VERY exciting!  I go in for my 3 month check up next week.  I'm feeling good but know I need to get in more exercise and I'm working on that and upping my water intake.
