3 Months....Like Clockwork

I had my 3 month post-op follow up on Monday. I can't wait to get a copy of my pics from my first appointment from last April when I was at my highest 239lbs. I have so far lost 71% of my excess weight, my BMI is 27.5, so close to normal!! I am down 78lbs. I now take steps 2 at a time without losing my breath, instead of slowly and one at a time and still running out of breath and taking forever to be able to catch my breath. I love that!!!! I've had to move my seat up in my truck a couple of times now. I have gone down a glove size at work and still sometimes forget and when I need a new glove I have asked for my old size and don't even realize until I put it on. I'm finally getting messages and looked at on a dating website and myspace. I have found a new love for short hair and I am a little addicted to new cuts and styles when I go in. I love having my picture taken now!! LOVE IT!!! The "Like Clockwork" part is the losing of hair. Right at the 3rd month or so my hair started coming out. It's not so bad yet, I got a new hair cut to help hide the thinning in the front. Also, the drinking of cold liquids is better!!!!! YAY!!!! I am so thrilled to be able to drink cold liquids!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Alayna!! I'm right there with you.  My hair is getting pretty thin (but it was so thin to begin with) that I'm going to see about going shorter also. Keep up the great work!!!!! Debi

You look sooooooooooo good. Nice job!

Alayna - you are doing awesome!  What an inspiration!  It must feel great to see all the changes in 3 months.

FABULOUS!

 

Alayna - you are doing so great. I'm so happy for you. And what a hottie! I'm glad you are not in my age bracket.... I'd have some competition. LOL.  Hugs, Lori

you look freakin' AMAZING!!! WTG!!!
As to the hair?  Eh...temporary price to pay....worth it!!!!!

WTG GIRL!

WTG Chica, You are looking really good! I can't wait to go out for bowling night. You avatar looks good. So now I know to expect some thinning next month I'm not sure if I'll keep my hair as long then. We will have to take alot of pics on bowling night. See ya soon!

Holy Crap woman!  You ROCK!!!!!

You look amazing girl!  78 pounds in 3 months and marathon exercising......you are my idol.  Your hair looks great short, sort of sassy.  Love it.  Keep it up and continue to inspire me.  The inspirations on this site just keep comin!!!! Bonnie 

wowsers-you have just been workin the tool!! yeah, the hair loss is kinda frustrating, but remember it won't last forever, and short hair is the bomb on your now skinny face!! glad the cold liquids are easier-I didn't have much problem with the temp, except that drinking cold equals feeling cold in this weather.  thank goodness for soup and hot cocoa!  hugs, lynn
