9 months post op

I can not believe it has been 9 months already. I am still incredibly thankful for the progressive I've seen. I can only equate my nine months with the much more famous 9 month period we all know, the progress towards birth. I feel that my journey has very much been a rebirth. I am no longer the person I used to be. Not only am I physically smaller, so many other things are different about me. I have a better attitude about life, feel more confident and resolute in who I am and what my capabilities are. I no longer look first for reasons I can't do something, rather now I'm wondering what can I do. My loss of the emotional crutch I had in food has caused me to be more emotional and deal with those emotions. It has been a wonderful and eventful journey. Here's a wrap up of where I am today:

 

Total weight lost since initial consultation (Nov 23, 2010) -256lbs

Weight loss since surgery (Jan 10, 2011) -220lbs

Current weight, lowest since 6th grade 236lbs

Current weight as a percentage of my beginning weight 48%

No longer taking blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds and no longer wear a CPAP. I have shed all the co-mobilities I had at the beginning of this journey.

 

Thank you all for reading and for providing me a very valuable outlet and support on my journey.
