6 Months Out

[Cobrargc 25]

This month marks 6 months since my sleeve surgery. I’ve been pretty quiet on the forum lately as I’ve been very busy. I just wanted to let everyone know things are going very well. My decision to have the surgery is probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Certainly there have been many adjustments over the past months, but those adjustments are my new normal and I’ve accepted them as if they’ve been with me my whole life.

I’m closing in on 80lbs lost. My energy level is incredible. I recently took my two sons, both who are in their mid 20’s, on a birthday trip to Boston to sightsee and attend a couple Red Socks games. They commented that they weren’t able to keep up with me.

I’ve been riding my bicycle to work 3 days a week. I walk a 4 mile route every day during my lunch hour.

The weight loss has slowed as expected, but I’ll reach my goal over time. All is well!

My story is the same as yours. I am six months out, pleased with my weight loss, which like yours has slowed down, and I feel great! Like you, I have adapted to the adjustments, and do not feel any sense of loss or deprivation. And I agree, one of the best decisions I ever made, but it was a difficult one to come to.

Thanks for posting!
