9 months post-op

Hi Everyone!
Long time, no post. I'm almost at the 9 month mark..sorry, the last couple months have been hard! Its like i hit the six month mark and my weight loss slowed. I am currently at 205.6! So I've only lost 3 pounds since my last post in October.
I will admit, I have fallen off the wagon here and there. I dont always eat 5-6 meals a day as my surgeon requested and have slid a little with some carbs. This past month I have began going back to the gym, so i am currently building muscle. Even though I havent lost much on the scale, the inches are definitely coming off. Two months ago I was a snug size 16 jeans, last week I had to buy new size 14 jeans. I am wearing a L/XL shirt, a XL or 14 in dresses and am wearing size 10 shoes from a size 11!
I am going to do a "pouch reset" the day after Christmas because I am making a delicious Turkey and I will not set out a holiday dinner like I did for Easter. I have about another 50-65lbs to go to put me in a healthy BMI. I hope all my sleevers are doing well, and again I'm sorry I disappeared for two months!!!

Month 7 update, its my birthday!

Hey everyone!
Today marks 30 weeks and 1 day post VSG AND today is my BIRTHDAY! I still can't believe where I am with my journey. My goal was to get to #199/ onderland by today, and unfortunately I did not make it to that goal... but I am not sad about it either. This morning I weighed in at 208.8lbs. So its official:
I HAVE LOST 92 LBS IN 7 MONTHS!
It still amazes me to this day what a beautiful journey this is. No its not easy and yes there are struggles, but at the end of the day I refuse to be that 300lb person i was at the beginning of this year!
Thank you everyone for your support, it means the world to me! I'm rooting for all of your success too!

Official 6 month update

Hi everyone-
What an amazing adventure this has been this far, and its only been 6m and 2 days. I had blood work done two weeks ago and had my results this past week. Great news, I am no longer pre-diabetic and everything is normal except my iron was a little low- my surgeon said its nothing major. I am so happy about that. I have been over the moon with some of my progress and continue to work hard each day. I have lost 10 pant sizes and 10-12 dress sizes. Ive eent down a shoe size and had my rings resized from an 11.25 to a little loose 9! How crazy is that!?
I do have a small set back, I believe I suffer from body dysmorphia, somedays I see my change and others I see the same 300lb person looking back at me- its frustrating. I am continuing to work on that. Its hard. I am proud of everyone and their journeys!
Here are my current stats:
