6 Months Post Op

Jun 16, 2010

I can't believe 6 months has gone by already.  I had my 6 month post-op appointment yesterday and everything is going so well.  All my labs were good. Blood pressure was fine.  The only thing I was told was to drink more water. Admittedly, I'm not the greatest at that.  I'm down 82 lbs since surgery.  I've lost 54 lbs of fat alone.  That's awesome in my book.  My BMI has gone down 13 points.  I've lost 13 inches in the waist and 6 from the hips. 

I'm doing well and I'm loving it.  I've started riding my bicycle again which I absolutely LOVE doing!  And I'm glad it doesn't cost money :)   Just yesterday, my daughter was using her Skip-It and I thought I'd try.  I did it!  So fun...and I felt so silly too.  I had her record a video which I'll be posting to my You Tube channel when I get a chance.  If you are interested in finding me on You Tube, go to http://www.youtube.com/dottiemay71   I've been doing a few update videos and have found some great support there.  It's fantastic.

I'm currently entered into a weight loss contest through one of my You Tube friends (search for joshuad1000).  It's keeping me motivated although, things like being able to ride bike and do the skip-it are also great motivators.  It feels just fabulous to be able to do things I couldn't do before.  Truly wonderful feeling.

I hope everyone is doing well.
