So in weight loss surgery terms, this is my 6 months surgiversary. I've lost an even 80 lbs. and have 18 lbs to get to goal. This "goal" is simply a number not something I've been given by my doctor - it's a number I'd like to stay below. Honestly, if I never lost another pound I would consider myself successful and happy. When I went to the seminar they told us that people with my RNY proceedure should lose 70% of what they need to lose. According to my goal I'm at 80%. Although my doctor says that I'll probably gain back about 10%, so I'll lose 80% and gain back 10% in order to get to the 70% mark. I just want to eat right, take my vitamins, exercise and when my body gets to where it should be it will probably level off. (I'm guessing anyway!)
Here's a couple of updated pictures - I need to remember to quit wearing black for these pics, it doesn't really show any details...
I seem to have lost my butt & boobs somewhere. I'm going through the hair loss (which I've been assured that will grow back but the butt & boobs are gone for good!)
I've become a Goodwill fanatic! It's funny that since I'm more of a normal size (size 10-12) just about anything looks good - when I was a size 22, I spent a fortune on clothes and wouldn't step foot inside a Goodwill.
thanks...
