Thought I'd do a little update considering its 6months since sleeve surgery
Surgery date: 26th June 2015
Starting weight: 14stone 7.4lbs
Today's weight: 9stone 1.8lbs
This weeks loss: 3.6lbs
Total loss: 5stone 5.6lbs (-75.6lbs)
Loss to goal: only 8.8lbs!
I've had no stalls or gains at all
And and and my BMI is now 25.0! Which registers as NORMAL not overweight! I'm in the healthy BMI range now. So happy. Great Christmas present. I started off as 41 BMI (obese class 2). Only 8.8lbs left to lose to my target which started at over 6stone to lose.
my weight loss isn't stalling yet and I don't intend to maintain until it stops its self or if I get too low in weight after all I'm only 5 foot on the dot.
My portion size hasn't really changed and I'm used to it now. Small hand full of chicken, a few carrots and a floret of cauliflower/broccoli is usually my lunch at work. I've found that if I add a little treat a week eg a mazipan fruit or a hot chocolate then it keeps my weight loss going as I don't eat any bread, pasta or rice (my choice and also carbs make me feel very uncomfortable leading to me being sick)
I did have extreme mood swings for a couple of months but these have settled now. Maybe because my body is now used to the lower nutrition than before and hormones have settled. I've gone from a size 16 to a size 10 (size 8 in some things). Don't think I've ever been a size 10 hah.
I have a little bit of excess skin which I will see how it goes long term and possibly consider further surgery.
Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a lovely day. Best wishes and a continued successful weight loss for you all xx
