15 months Post Op Check Up

I wanted to check and hold myself accountable. Things are going great I am maintaining my goal weight. I am actually below goal weight. My original goal was 138. I weighed in today at 135. I think I am happy at this weight. This is where I would like to stay. I am 5 '6 1/2 so I think any lower and I would look too skinny. Weight - 135 (Below Original Goal of 138) Original Weight - 244 Total Pounds Lost - 109 Calf - 14 inches Upper Leg - 20 inches Upper Arm - 10 inches Breast - 32 Waist - 26 inches Hips - 34 inches Total Inches Lost - 61 1/2 Original Inches - Calf - 19 inches Upper Leg - 29 inches Upper Arm - 16 1/2 inches Breast - 44 inches Waist - 40 inches Hips - 49 inches New Sizes Dress - 6 Skirts -2 Pants - 4 Coat Size - 4 ( I just bought a new coat---The size 2 fit but I decided to go one size bigger so that I could wear bulky sweaters! Imagine trying to decide between a 2 or a 4! I never thought that I would ever have this choice to make!) :-) How is everyone else doing! It seems like forever since I posted anything! I hope eveyone is doing well! Diana

Hi Diana! First, congratulations are definitely in order I'm with you on the size of clothes and coats. I bought a size small faux lynx fur coat and love it and look good in it. I want to have room for a sweater for the cold weather. Dress size is a 10 for now... pants petite small... jackets and tops either an extra small or small depending on manufacturer. Things are great for us Junebugs, aren't they? I've lost a total of 321.4 pounds, of which 220 pounds from RNY surgery. OK by me!! Only 3.4 pounds for my goal Nice to hear that you are maintaining but still losing a bit. I hope to do the same! Hugs, Lucy

Diana, CONGRATS hun. Glad to hear all is well......WOW love those single digit sizes... I am between an 8-10 right now but my goal will be 6......I am not sure if I will get there and would be happy with a true 8 but we will see. Congrats again hun and have a great weekend Debra P

Congratulation Diana, You and I have traveled down a very similar road, I started @ 249 and am 5'4 1/2", my goal was 138, I'm maintaining in a little window of 122-125lbs and clothes sizes running like you...I didn' t measure for myself, my nut did, but I didn't keep track of the #'s on my own... This surgery has been such an awesome experience and I am SO thankful I had it, I'll bet you are too...Our next step is keeping it here, good luck, I have my thoughts and prayers in place for all of us Junies...

Great job Diana!!! You have done incredibly well!! This surgery has given us so much! I just had my 15 mo yesterday. I'm down to 174 from 332 on surgery day, 358 at my highest. I am really proud of myself, although I still have about 24 lbs. to go to be where I want to be. My surgeon felt that I would stop between 185 and 195, so he's very happy with my progress. I don't know if I'll make the 150 before ps, but we'll see. I did lose 6-7 lbs. last month, when I've been averaging 5 lbs./mo for the last few months. Thanks for sharing your amazing accomplishment. Enjoy the fruit of your labor! Hugs, Kerri
