6 Month WOW

Good Evening Everyone,

My 6 month WLS anniversary was yesterday...  and so far I am super happy with my WLS results...

Highest Weight=462#
Surgery Weight April 11 = 433#
Current Weight = 314#
Weight Loss this Week = 5#
Total Weight Loss Since Surgery 6 Months Ago= 119#
Grand Total Weight Loss=148#

To think it took me 6 months to lose 29 pounds prior to surgery and in my 6 months since surgery, I have lost 4 times that amount, just boggles the mind.  My only regret, as I am sure most of you have the same regret, is not having done this sooner.  I must say, as much as I love all the new found energy and health benefits, I am having a little trouble seeing the new and ever changing me.  What I see in the mirror is the old me and I really hope over time that this will change. 

Oh yeah, my family and I went to the NC Zoo today.  We were bummed we had to miss the trip last week and we had a blast.  Walked 7.5 miles with no effort.  I can remember just 5 years ago going to the very same zoo and having to ride the tram everywhere because I was just too tired to walk the trails.  Pretty awesome WOW I'd say.

I second that WOW!!!! Dalton, that is nothing short of spectacular!!!! Congratulations

Congrats Dalton! I can't wait to be down that much. Keep up the good work.

That is absolutely WONDERFUL!! You keep up the great work  because it is definately paying off for you.

Hi Dalton,

Congratulations on your exceptional achievements. I know that it takes a while for our heads to catch up with the changes that our bodies are experiencing, but keep taking photos and measurements. Eventually, it does begin to register.

Wishing you continued success my friend.

I look forward to seeing less of you soon,

Barb

I am so glad you and your family had a great day at the zoo.
Congratulations on your many wow's
One day you are going to be walking around and all of a sudden catch your new reflection.
At first you may not even know who that refection is.
As time goes on you are going to start enjoying what you are seeing and feeling.

Congrats Dalton! Those are some awesome stats!  I agree with you, I wish I had done it years ago!
Keep up the great work.  Alice

Congratulations, Dalton!  Great job!

WOW!!!! That is absolutely awesome!!! Way to go DALTON!!!!

 Good going Dalton.. it does feel good to get out and go like we used to at some point and time. I also have small regrets not getting this done alot earlier but on the other hand so much has changed in the past twenty or so years maybe it made sense to get it done now and just enjoy life without all the suitcases attached to us. Just think where you will be in a year and how much better life will be then. Its a heck of a thought to just keep in mind.
