5 months check in!

[pattimomof3nj 21]

well my 5 month surgiversary was on the 15th! I'm a few days late, but better late than never in my book. I'm so happy that i decided to do the revision and get rid of my CRAP BAND!!! that thing was the worst, especially after it slipped. So, since 10/15 i am down 50 pounds! my blood work is great except for Vitamin D which i am working on now! I am now down 77% of my excess body weight since surgery, the lowest that i have been since college!

I have so much energy, that my kids are finding it hard to keep up with me! I can eat pretty much anything that i want, which is a double edged sword! I sometimes 'want' what i shouldn't eat, but a few bites and i'm good! before it would be all or nothing! My husband and son think i'm HOT, that is so cool! I am looking forward getting the last 19 pounds off and getting to goal! that is when I am going to buy a new wardrobe! Until then, my baggy size 10 jeans will just have to do!

thanks for reading and being a great support group!!!

Yay! I am so glad you are doing so well. I had a revision as well and I totally agree about the "crap band." Enjoy the new you! I bet you will be doing lots of shopping very soon.

Way to go! I am 5 months out and have lost 52 pounds since surgery and 98 totals since beginning this journey. Got to git rid of more clothes that used to not fit because they were too tight to now not fitting because two people can fit into it! Best decision, next to my wife and kids, I have made.
