6 month update!!!

Hi Everyone, Just got home from my 6 month checkup and everything is great!!!! All of my bloodwork was normal and by the Dr's scale I have lost 83 lbs since surgery 9/27/04. I consider myself to be a slow loser but it keeps coming off and that is the most important thing. I have only had a stall for 2 weeks all this time, the rest of the time is 1.5 to 5 lbs per week depending on what I eat. I am feeling terrific except for some back and shoulder pain I am experiencing from the excess fat and skin hanging. Boobs look like an 80 year olds and my abdomen looks like a bunch of loose, flabby, wrinkly skin. I am hoping the workouts I have started will help some but I know that the obvious is lurking behind. ABDOMINOPLASTY AND BREAST LIFT. Not much loose skin on my arms or legs. Thank God something shrunk I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for their hard work and encouragement along the way. Keep up the good work. Teresa

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! 83 lbs. is great !!!! I was down the same amount at my 6 month check up and my bloodwork was great too !!!!! Keep up the good job !!!! Laura 238/155/135 20 lbs. till goal !!!!

Great Job! It's hard to beleive that it is 6 months already. I just got my labs and they are good. My b-12 is too good so I only have to take it every other day. I have lost 81 lbs since Sept. 16, 128 since May of last year when I first checked into this surgery. I wear a size 14. It is so ! I feel like I am in high school again! PS underwire padded bras at least make you look good in clothes!

Congratulations Teresa! You are doing so well! You are lucky your legs and arms have sprung back so well! As for the tummy tuck, I'll be right there with you having one also. My boobs now look more like pita breads than anything else... They look fine stuffed into a bra though! Anyway, I'm proud of you! Good job! ~Sue
