6 month surgeriversary ! ! !
Well, yesterday marked my 6 month surgeriversary for my band to sleeve revision.
I have lost a total of 103 pounds as of June 3rd.
I have dropped from a size 22-24W to a regular 14 or 15 in juniors.
From a 26/28 (4X) blouse/shirt to a Medium blouse/shirt. Sometimes a large depending on the cut of the shirt.
My shoe size shrunk from a 8W to a normal 7-7.5
My legs (thighs mainly) no longer go numb after extensive time on my feet.
I can see all the bones in my feet, and ankles.
Above all of the physical changes, my outlook on life is even more positive, and upbeat. I no longer feel like the "fattest" person in the group. I can walk around the mall for hours, shopping, and just enjoying being out of the house without my knees hurting after 30 minutes. I no longer experience shortness of breath when I walk up stairs. I look in the mirror and see a completely different woman, inside and out. I still see flaws within my body, but I'll live with those flaws instead of the fat rolls.
There have been many ups and downs over the last 6 months, but I would gladly endure all of it again. I used to take each day for granted, but now, I cherish each and every day that God has blessed me with on this Earth.
