6 month update!
So today is my 6 month Surgiversary!
Including the 2 week pre op diet I am down a total of 91 lbs!
I am down from wearing a 3-4X shirt to a XL or 1X.
I am down from a tight 28 pant to a very loose 22.
My kilt that I wear for pipe band falls to the floor even on it's tightest buckle setting, I need to have a new one made!
Overall just everything is better. Walking is easier, standing at my job is easier, doing activities at the gym is easier. I feel better, I sleep better, the only food that my sleeve has rejected was a samosa from the Boyce Market, and honestly I don't need to be eating those anyway. I don't deprive myself, but my sleeve has taught me choice, and moderation.
I still have a long way to go, but today I am focusing on how far I've come :)
Great Job!!! So inspiring to read this post
I see Dr Boisvert on Monday for the second time, hoping to walk out with a surgery date!!
Thank you for your posts, this forum is kinda slow and I love reading all the updates.
congrats on your continued successes..I will hopefully be walking in your shoes shortly.
I am so happy to hear that you are seeing Dr. Boisvert! He did a wonderful job, his staff were great, and before going into surgery I felt like I was very informed about everything I needed to know about the surgery and the changes I would need to make to my life, both temporary and long term. He is just so great, and frank, and answered all of my questions even ones I thought might be silly. I was completely prepared mentally for this before going in.
91 lbs in 6 months, I hope to hit (or be past!) the 100 lbs mark by Christmas. I still have a long way to go, at least another 100 lbs. I started out at a very high weight, but I feel like for once in my life that I have all the tools I need to make sure I am successful. I will make it, and I will be healthier!! :)
