6 Months Post op

Yesterday was my 6-month surgiversary. As of Friday, I have lost 78lbs since surgery and almost 6 dress sizes. That's a total of 134 lbs. I haven't been this small for 30 years. Physically I am feeling great, except for a little back pain. My mental state is another story. I guess those hormone changes they warned me about in the pre-op class have hit. But this too shall pass. I hope to get to the clothing exchange this time because I need some clothes. I didn't make it to the last one and my wardrobe is severly limited.

Congrats sweetie
Doesnt it feel wonderful?
I wake up with a back ache sometimes(i blame the weather).
There  are days i feel like i can rip someones head off (my pms days).
I know i dont no crap off anyone anymore(i can get  away faster).no really i  really have to work at my mood swings to keep them under control.
But keep up the good job and im glad you are feeling better.`

Cindy,
Congrats on your journey to date!  You are doing wonderful! We all go thru mental ups & downs, even after yrs. of recovery, just ask me! 
  Just keep on trudging thru the emotions, find new healthy outlets, and keep posting!  I hope to see you at the Clothing Exchange- time to post a new photo so we can recognize you there!!!!

Cindy, 

What an amazing accomplishment!  Sounds like you're taking everything in stride.  Hope you are able to come to the clothing exchange.  I'm sure you could use a few outfits.  Way2go!
