I'm struggling a bit...the carb monster has bitten me lately...not bad but i've definately indulged in a bit more carbs most days than i should. But i'm working through it and trying to get myself back on track, it's hard because once you induldge in the damn carbs you crave them more. Never ending battle i'm afraid.
BUT the good news is I went for my first good walk of the spring yesterday and I can notice such a difference in the pace i can keep walking and not be out of breath. It felt really good to stretch my leg muscles. I do however continue to have issues with my fibromyalgia flaring up at the slightest exercise i'm in agony, but i'm pushing through and keeping going. Plan to check out the Y this weekend and see about joining as a family for the year.
Hoping that my increase in exercise will spur me to start losing more again. My losses have definately slowed way down and even though I'm thrilled with my weight loss so far, i'd like to keep up the steady losses for at least the next 6 months.

6 month post op visit yesterday
Was given an A+ grade by the NP. She was very impressed with my weight loss, eating, vitamin intake, fluid intake, etc. Said i'm doing everything right. We talked about getting more exercise, which was my plan anyway. Good visit all in all. Go back in June for a 9 month follow up, i was thinking i wouldn't have to go back till 1 year, not sure why i thought that. Oh well at least i don't have to worry about snow and cold going up in June (I hope anyway!!)

6 Months! WOW!
So it's been 6 months since my surgery, can't believe it!
STATS -
I've lost a total of 90 lbs and 45"!!!! Simply amazing, no other words can describe it.
I'm so glad i had this surgery.
I have a goal of 199, just because i want to be less than 200 lbs....and 90 lbs puts me exactly 1/2 way there :-)
I have my official "6 month" visit with ADK next week. I feel like i'm doing very well. I know i will need to have my labs checked again.
My only "complaint" is i'm losing a lot of hair all of a sudden, it's getting pretty thin on top, gonna look like John soon if it keeps up. BUT, it's a very tiny price to pay for the health and confidence i'm gaining! Plus, it will grow back anyway!
