6 mo out now...updates
Yesterday marked my 6 months post op. I am down 94# today. I am not sure what size I am but I did buy a pair of 22 jeans that were too big according to my mom. So I returned them. So maybe a 20? I need to figure this out. I no longer have any jeans that fit lol. I only have the yoga pants I bought for the gym. The 3 pair of FB Right Fits in a 4 are too big now. For tops I have about 5! I went to goodwill and found out that in this particular store they color cordinated the pants. While it looks nice, there is no way I am looking at that many pants to find my size. This is not a good set up. All the sizes are mixed together. My BMI tells be I am Obese now vs Morbidly Obese. I am 240# and last time I weighed this was sometime after Cheyenne was born in 2001. I am going to try to get an updated photo to add later so check back...
I still have to pierce my nose for my "under 250" reward, get 6 mo photos, get clothes, do something for myself to make up for my concert I can't attend and last but not least get my hair done. It needs a cut, deep moisture and dying but I am afraid it will all fall out. Should I wait until it slows down on the hair loss before I dye it? When I hit the 100# mark I want to go horseback riding. I take the kids to do this and last time I did it I was a preteen. I asked them in a round about way if I was too heavy and this was in june. They said no.
I have to see the doctor and dietician now every 2 wks vs the usual schedule. As it was I was going every month. As I mentioned before I am slowly working on getting back on track. I remembered my manual and reread it. I forgot all about the 6-12 mo section being there since I never read that before. WOW! There is no way I eat 1000 calories. I haven't journaled but it is a lot less. I need to start doing that again.
