6 Months Surgiversary !

I lost 64 Ib (29 kg). Probably would have lost bit more, but I was bit slack with my exercises lately.

I gained 90 Ib (41 kg) in 2 years 2014-2016 partly due to my Graves Disease (hyper-thyroid) doing 180 degree turn, and mucking up my metabolism. I developed awful sweet and fatty foods cravings, so I had a massive, rapid weight gain.

I would love to lose another 33 Ib. My weight loss has slowed down a bit when I hit 6 months post op.

So, I am plodding along .....

That's awesome. I'm 5 weeks out. I've lost 18 pounds, 26 if you include the preop diet. I was just cleared for exercise yesterday. I feel like I've barely lost anything but my doctor said I've done great and to expect 8-10 lbs a month if I'm working on it.

Thank you!

Yes, you have done great! The 8-10 Ibs per month loss is a good loss. I was told the same.

With regular and steady loss (not super fast) I have healthy hair (no hair loss) and the only loose skin I have is in my upper arms.

So, count your blessings.

At 3 months post op I saw my face was changing and I could cross my legs, and the weight loss was noticeable.

Now, at 6 months post op, the change is even bigger and better.

You will get there. It takes time, but it happens.

So, be happy to steadily plod along.

All the best!

Thank you!

I actually just had a cut, my hair was longer still. Yes, the weight loss is great. I felt such a frump, and I forgot what I looked like, until I found few more pre-op photos.

I am still not at goal, but I hope that by Christmas I will be there.

Christy, you look phenomenal, and beautiful. You have such beautiful face and hair, and you have done an amazing great job with your weight-loss!

You are an inspiration!

So, we can inspire and motivate each other

[Christy5913 146]

I, too am hoping to be at goal by Christmas (be a nice Christmas present) and I'm definitely down to keep motivating and encouraging each other a long the way !!

Wishing you continued success and looking forward to your progress pics

Today I hopped on my scales, and I am now 22 Ib (10 kg) away from my stretch goal!

So, I am still losing weight, yay

Bit slower now, but still losing!

[OzRoo 1,492]

Today I reached my final decade ( Less than 22 Ib ) to be under, towards my goal.

6 and 1/2 months later I finally got under 70 kg, and weigh 69 kg ( 151.8 Ib ).

Being in AU, I am used to Metric system, but with my calculator I can show Ibs lost in my updates.

So, each 10 kg lost ( 22 Ib) was a milestone for me.

Now, I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

19.8 Ib ( 9 kg) to go to my stretch goal, then visit my Dietician again, and discuss maintenance.

After my scales not moving for few weeks, they're on the downward slope again, Yay!

I may reach my stretch goal before Christmas.

This will be the best present!
