8 months - Reflections
It's amazing to think that 8 months have past since surgery. Some days have been hard. Some have been easy. Since my journey began in October of 2008 with my medical supervised diet, I have lost 97 pounds. Since I see the same face in the mirror each morning, I don't always get the real picture. So this past week, I took the time to compare SIDE BY SIDE pictures of before and after...it is still amazing to me. I FEEL so much better! My health has improved!
I have not had complications and for that I am thankful. I have followed the plan and for the most part have stuck to what I know is good. I have not exercied as much as I should and I know that both my body shape and weight loss have been impacted, but my exercies plan is improving!
I've been stuck at the same weight for about a month. Checking in with my July pals, it seems to be a common theme. I still have a ways to go to hit my personal goals. AND I need to start saving for reconstructive surgery!

Congratulations!
I am at my 8 month mark also in two weeks, I too have been stuck but am working on upping my calories which often seems to break my stalls.
Like you, I feel so much better, no complications, and am so grateful that I had this surgery. I am now wearing size 14 pants from a 3x and while "the girls" are keeping the top section still pretty big, I am beyond thrilled. Beast reduction is definately in the future.
How wonderful that we are so close to goal and feeling great.
Again congratulations on your success and working so hard to make your surgery such a positive in your life.

Well, dont you look fabulous! It is truly amazing how much everyone has transformed. Me, like most of you guys right now, have been the same weight for about a month. I feel like Im kinda going backwards with my eating. Im trying my best to get my protien in but, the carbs have come back. I am down a total of 123 pounds. 20 of those are pre-surgery. Im steady at 205 right now and cant wait to get to wonderland dammnit!
Anyway, no complications on my end either. I'm super greatfull and would do this again in a heartbeat.
