6 month surgery anniversary today! :)

Hello,

It has been 6 months already since my surgery!  I started my pre-op diet almost 7 months ago.  (There were a few surgery cancelations that made the pre-diet longer than it should have been.)  I was 357 when I started my pre-diet.  330 on my surgery day.  I'm now 236.  So, 94 pounds since surgery and 121 pounds overall.  I used to take pills and insulin for my diabetes.  I haven't taken a thing since the day of my surgery.  This was a huge part of my decision for weight loss surgery.  Also, I was in too much pain to do anything.  My ankles, feet and lower back would be in so much pain with minimal walking.  This week, while on vacation, I walked for 3 days all over the city / zoo, etc while carrying bags and children... no issues with any pain at all! This is what it was all about for me. 

I'm not done yet, I still have a long way to go - but I'm looking forward to the next 6 months!

Good luck and take care everyone!

That is amazing!  I cannot wait to see where I am 6 months from now.  Thank you for such an uplifting post, and good luck in the next 6!

Thanks so much! I'm hoping that things go smoothly for you as well!

Way to go ! keep up the good work

Thanks! :)

Congratulations on your wonderful success to date!!!

You're ahead of me by one day for our surgery dates and a significant amount in pounds lost...but I'm still very happy.

Here's to our continued success! 

Thanks you and congrats to you too! (remember, if I started with more weight to lose, I may have lost more pounds, but you may have lost more or the same in percentages). :)

Congrats on your loss! 

Thanks! :)

Congrats on your progress!  Can't wait to get there.  The pain that prevents me from enjoying life is a major factor for me seeking surgery also. Wonderful to read about your success.
