24 weeks (6 Months) post gastric bypass

Oops...a little late this time.  I've been busy doing other crap, getting ready for surgery on the 14th of June.
As well, I wanted to see the surgeon for my 6 month appt, and that wasn't until the 28th of May.


High Weight       338 lbs (best estimate)
Program Start     311
Surgery Weight  272
Current Weight  210 lbs


change from last month: -10

Measurements:
Hips: 45
Waist: 38
Bust: 43

So, weight is still going down at a decent pace.  Surgeon was happy with it, and I'm officially down 100lbs from my program starting point. I'm hoping for another 30-40lbs lost. We'll see what happens - I know the loss will slow down now.  Honestly, as long as I'm in "one-derland" I'll be okay.

I've put the scale away - I was obsessing over the damn thing.  I will weigh in the day of my surgery, just so I can see the difference.  

I've really noticed my uterus lately - I can't lift my legs while seated, it hurts. my waist measurement is the same - I'm thinking because my uterus is so high/big. I'll find out in just over two weeks!

Pre assessment clinic is on June 1st. It's a good thing I don't work - when they called me, we had booked the 4th, but someone wrote the 1st.  They called me today to see if I could come on the 1st. Luckily - nothing was on that day.

Musings and observations

Well, I just realized that all this rambling was set to private.  Now it's out there for whoever cares...which is about 3 people.  It's all good - read away, and shake your head :P

I was reading back through my older posts, and realized that I had said in 2011 that every three years, just as I get content, something happens....

Well, in 2014 my husband had a stroke, and we had to suddenly move from the townhouse to an apartment.  Then in 2017, my son ended up disabled from his headaches.  Luckily - he had good insurance, and won't be in financial hardship.

Damn... It's like I'm stuck in a loop of every 3 years, shit hits the fan.  I guess I've got 2 years before it all goes to hell again - hopefully I can ward it off this time!  I'll survive it, no matter what - it's what I do.

I've decided to post this all outside of the gastric bypass stuff, because I want to try to keep them easy to find.  So, if you're looking for a weight update, you'll see that in it's own post :)

My Tabby cat is still holding on - over 6 years since she was exposed to mould in the townhouse and almost died, she's doing well.  Her lungs are scarred, and she does have minor breathing issues - but we're managing it with an inhaler and antibiotics as needed.  I've sent an invoice to the coop for her vet bills, but they've ignored me.  I will be sending a second request, then looking into small claims court. We'll see what happens.
