Sept 29th six months out!

Sept. 29th I will be six months pre-op. I started at 229pds, I am down to 158 at the present. I am 5'3", so I would like to get to 125 pds. Six months and 71 pds is a good weight loss, I use to try so hard and loose maybe 20 pds in six months.I would do this surgery over in a heartbeat.... I was fortunate no problems with surgery. I really have no desire to eat I have to schedule myself to eat or I will forget. I am taking optisource vitamins that has everything in it for bariatric people. they are chewable and not bad.You have to get them through walgreens.I recently joined curves to try to built up some muscle my skin is sagging pretty good since I am not young anymore, I am 53. Currently wearing a size medium top and size 10 pant, from anywhere size of 18 to 22 before surgery. I wish I had done this many years ago. Oh yes the hair has thinned the fifth through sixth month has been worse but it should stop soon. God Bless..

Paula, That is great! I go for my 6 month appt. on the 26th of this month. Of course my 6 months will be on the 22nd, But that's okay. I've joined a gym and I work out 4 day's a week and do water aerobics 3 day's a week. and I walk at least 1 mile or more a day. Plus all the stairs I go up and down at work. so I'm doing pretty good.
