9 Month Post Op
I had my 9 month post op appt today and guess what?! I am already at my doctor's goal! I have lost 80% of my excess weight and anything else I lose from here on out is just icing on the cake as my doctor put it! Who would have ever thought that at nine months out I would already be at goal? Not in a million years would I have ever thought it, it still blows my mind! I still have a personal goal of 160 lbs, and am 10 lbs away from that goal and am sure I will see that accomplished before my one year surgiversary:) Words just can't explain what this surgery has meant to me and how much it's changed my life!
I saw my before picture today that was taken a week before surgery and I couldn't believe how different I was...I am not even that person anymore and I never want to see her again!
I am having to go in for surgery this week to have a possible hernia repair or twisted bowel repair, but I knew prior to surgery that this might happen, so it's no surprise to me and I know it will go well. Other than that, everything is great and I am so proud of the progress I have made thus far.
I am now training to run a 5k race then hopefully a 1/2 marathon sometime next spring. Things I once thought were unreachable are only at an arm's length now and that excites me more than anyone will ever know! It just keeps on getting better from here on out! From 298 lbs to 170 lbs in 9 months, who can ask for better than that?!
