Hi guys just wanted to check in and do a Onderland dance! I am officially the lightest I have ever been in my entire adult life! 192lbs. 

Have had a bad case of pcos since my first periods which was my true obstacle to weight loss. I honestly never really believed even this surgery would really work on me. But is has! 

Highest weight: 278

surgery weight:272

lowest weight pre surgery: 199

current weight: 192

surgery date: 8/20:13 5 1/2 months out.

Weight lost : 80lbs!

 

the bad: 

surgery hurt more then I expected... But recovered quickly.

I took 10k biotin a day but like 80% of my hair fell out .. Oh well.

its hard for me to remember to eat sometimes ... But getting on track with vitamins.

Skin is sagging but better then fat and unhealthy.

Tired a good bit

Scared to death of what it will be like to be a thin person... Never been one before in 33 years.

The good:

poop is normal for me ... It smells slightly more and there are slight variations but basically the same as before surgery.

My knees no longer hurt

cloths are looking great and I freak out when mediums fit me.

i no longer snore!

Never had nausea

no complications this far

the weird:

people are nicer to me Even some of my close friends.

i have no idea where to shop that doesn't have plus sizes

people I have known for a long time watch me walk around the room... Basically stare sometimes it's a little odd lol

Weight for me had a lot of plateaus but then will just drop... So don't worry!
