At "goal" 6 months post-plastics
Mar 28, 2009
I recently had my 6 month plastic surgery check-up and everything is perfect. I LOVE my flat tummy and perky "girls" more than anything. It is the end to my journey. I am now at a comfortable weight and size for me. I weigh 153-158, have a "normal" BMI and wear a size 10. For a 54 year old woman, I think I look good and feel great.I remain very active in my support groups both online and in person and encourage everyone to seek out that support. Other people don't understand what you have been through or are going through like WE do.
I am also faithful about taking my vitamins, I still drink a protein drink (5 days a week) for breakfast and I get my labs checked every six months. This is a committment for LIFE and is not an easy fix to a lifelong problem. I also weigh everyday and record it on a calendar in my bathroom so I always know where I am in my "5 lb maintanence range".
I'm not the perfect WLS patient, I do eat more carbs than I should and have one "snack size" Hershey bar every night but as long as I can maintain, I'm happy. I am a little over 1-1/2 years post-op and pray that I will not have a regain in the future. I know if I follow the principles I've learned and continue to stay connected with my peers, I will be successful.
