6 month weigh in today..

Today has been 6 months since my WLS. I can't believe it has been that long already. Before we know it, it will be a year! As most of you know, I had a really tough month. My weight kept going up and down and seemed like it was going no where fast. My loss for this month was 5.6 pounds, making my overall total 113.6 pounds. YAY ME! I am very happy about everything that is going on with me right now. I know I tend to put a lot on the scales, but other good things are happening as well. I am in a size 22 down from a 30-32 in jeans, and in a 2x top down from a 5x. I am happy about all the other things that I can do as well. I have had my blood work done, and go see my doc on the 20th. I am sure he is going to be pleased as well. I can finally have raw veggies! My salad was wonderful! I didn't know how much I missed lettuce and cucumbers!!! LOL. Everything went down fine, so I am very happy about that! Well, enough about me...just wanted to share. I send congrats to all of you for your accomplishments! Love and hugs, Sherry

wow sherry, you have lost so much already!! you have a lot to be proud of. i am a slow loser, i've only lost about 67 pounds, but i am still happy. i am in a size 18 jeans, and they are starting to get big. i would love to be a size 12, but i will be satisfied at a 14. we just booked our annual mexico trip today. we go every nov. for a big golf tournament, so i am hoping to be at goal by then. i have another 60-70 pounds to go, so i figure i am half way there. i'm glad you were able to enjoy a salad. i have been eating them for a good while now, and i really enjoy them. all surgeons are different, i take it you had to wait 6 months. i think i was allowed at 3 or 4, i forget which. have a wonderful evening, and enjoy every minute of your great success. fondly, patricia

Patricia, You are going great too! I am sure you will be in those size 12's in no time!! Yes, I had to wait 6 months for raw veggies. No stopping me now! LOL. Thanks for the sweet encouragement! Love and Hugs, Sherry

Wow Sherry!! You are doing soooo well!! Congrats on the 113.6 pounds down! Woooo hoooo!!! WTG!!!!! Keep up the good work! Susan

Susan, Thanks for the cheers! I couldn't imagine having 113.6 pounds back on me now. I just checked my BMI. I have gone from 59.2/Super Morbid Obese to 40.9/Extremely obese. Only 7 pounds to being just obese!!!! Love and hugs, Sherry

WOW...SHERRY!!! You are doing great. Look how far you have come. I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to hear how your appt on the 20th goes. Isn't it weird how good a salad tastes these days? I love me a good salad!!!! MMMMMmmmmm!!!! Glad your pouch liked your salad, too. Congrats and Hugs, Tabby

Sherry, I agree time has flown right by the last 6 month. Keep to your program and you will be at goal soon. Susan

GREAT JOB Sherry!!!!! I too am a slow loser, but they say I had less to lose. My 6 month appointment is on the 23rd, so I will post then. Congratulations on the great loss, and I KNOW how much better you must be feeling. Dawn
