6 months out and some thoughts!

Hello, Yesterday was 6 months out of gastric byapss and I have sat here the past two days and I reflect on how my life has changed just in the last 6 months, well really since 8-8-07 on the pre-op liquid and cabbage diet I did  tp get my BMI under 60 for the Surgery. From 8-8-07 to 10-22-07preop diet then 10-23-07 came around and I was scared, nervious, and wondering what to expect after this life changing surgery, it was a gift from God. I was so sick prior to this surgery and feel so blessed to have my labs show that I am healthy, no diabeties, no hypertension, AND IF YOU KNOW MY STORY PRIOR TO WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY NO HEAVEY, NASTY, OUT OF CONTROL Bleeding I am getting depo shots every 4 weeks due to break thru bleeding but nothing like it was prior to surgery.  I just want to Thank one my self for staying strong and having my head on straight, my husband, my child, my family, Dr. Oakley, And my friends everywhere!  I started this journey at  400.5 pounds on 8-8-07, then surgery I was 363 and yesterday at 6 months I was 262 so I have lost 101 since surgery and 138 since I met Dr. Oakley the on 8-8-07.  Alot of weight gone, and I have a long way to go but taking it one day at a time.  I am feeling fantastic!  God Bless you all!  Kristy
