6 Months Post Op

I am now down 105 lbs and my labs came back great except for my B-12 being a little low. I will now be taking extra B-12 every day. I have lost 64% of my excess weight and I am 4% above average:) I feel AMAZING and I couldn't be happier!

Can Barely Wrap My Brain Around It

It's going to be my six month surgiversary this Thursday and sometimes I still can't wrap my brain around it...it's been a half of a year since my surgery and SO much has changed..not just my weight!
I think one of the biggest things that I still have a hard time with is trying on clothes....I never really tried on clothes when I was bigger...I just knew that I wore a 3x/26w and that's what I would get. But now, I have to try on everything before I buy it to make sure it fits because I just never know. It feels SO GOOD to go in the dressing room and put on a pair of pants that fit just right, or put on a pair that you think is the right size and they're too big! It can be annoying though when you're in one size for a few weeks then have to turn right around and buy new clothes because you're down another size! I am always AMAZED! I can't remember the last time I looked in the mirror in a dressing room and said to myself "Dang girl, you look good!" But lately, I have been able to say that to myself again and that feeling can never been replaced! I feel like I've found myself again and I'm free to be me:)

I will update again on Thursday to let you know how my six month post op appt went with my surgeon:)
