6 months post op

Hello fellow lightweights,

I also posted this is the sleeve forum.  I have had a great 6 months.  My highest weight was 278.  I had surgery at 247 and am currently 172.4.  My goal was 175 but have revised it.  Can anyone tell me how to change my goal so my ticker reflects this?  I love to change it so I can see it go down each week.  Now that I have reached goal it doesn't change with me.  I was a size 24 and I am now a 12!!!!  I have done 2 5K's and have another one in 2 weeks.  I am doing the wounded warrior 10K this summer also.  That one will be great since I am a  veteran and it will just touch home with me.  Hubby will do the 1/2 marathon that day.  Life is crazy good.  I still do protein drinks and get in my vitamins and water.  I started to see a bariatric therapist and didn't realize how bad I needed one.  I have more insecurities than I thought.  I am lucky to have my doctor's support group which is led by my therapist and also 2 bi-monthly support groups that many of the same people from the doctor's support group go to.  My mother had the RNY last May.  Basically, I have a great support team whether it is at home, with my friends, and even at work.  I exercise 3-4 times a week.  I am still loosing consistently.  I hope to loose down to 160.  I am 5 8.5 so maybe even lower.  I joined the military at 178 so I am shocked to be lower than that.  I left boot camp at 167 so that number will be a miracle since that is also the magic I am no longer overweight number also.  Thank you for all the support.  I have enjoyed learning from everyone.

You look fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for posting pics. I love pics :)

I love pictures too!  I still can't believe that is me.  This journey is life changing.  

And thank you!!!

What a wonderful story, that continues on.  What a miracle this surgery is for folks to get their life back.  Hurray for you and your family.

I changed my goal lower too.  I deleted my tickers and made new ones, I could not figure out how to change it so I started over lol

Wow.  You have done a great job.  Love the pics.  I can really see the huge difference.

All that hard work has paid off for you.  Keep up the great work.
