8 month checkup

Good morning! I had my 8 month checkup with my surgeon last Thursday. My goal was 160 lbs. and I was soooooooo close at 161!! She said my belly is still a little swollen from my gallbladder surgery, so she said I was probably under 160!! I was thrilled with 161! When I met my surgeon last July, my BMI was 48 and on Thursday it was 28!! It was a good checkup and she was as thrilled as I was! I am feeling better every day....I get my staples out this afternoon and I can't wait!! They are healing and beginning to pinch me a little bit! Still can't lift anything heavy and if I move the wrong way I know it!! Holly

What a great checkup though. You are doing awesome! I am glad you are recovering well. YAY for getting those staples out! No more frankenstein look. I remember that one! Freaked me out! I say the lifting thing could be a good thing. Milk it for all ya can! Glad you are doing so good, Hugs, Melissa

Holly, so glad to hear you're doing so well and had a great check up w/ your surgeon. What great accomplishments you've achieved. Just wait till the staples come out and you start itching, omg, make you crazy. Still no heavy lifting? Enjoy it while you can and take advantage of it. Before you know it you'll be back to lifting and moving everything in site. Donna, sfy

Congrats on a good check up Holly!!! Glad to hear you are doing better after surgery. Milk that "no lifting" for all it's worth!!! Take care!!! Susan

OMG...HOLLY...you are doing so well. I can't believe that you have lost 20 points off of your BMI in less than a year. You should be so excited. And I'm sure that measly pound is from the gall bladder surgery. Don't sweat it. Hope that you feel better after getting your staples out. DON'T PU****!!! Let everyone wait on you a bit. You'll regret it down the road if you don't. Hugs Sweetie!!! Tabby

Holly I am so proud of your progress. You are doing just AMAZING!!! Can you just believe how far you have come in such a short period of time?!??! Its wonderful!!! Keep up the amazing work. *HUGGLES* Felicia =0)
