9 Month Check Up (with pic)

 

I had my 9 month check up this morning with full bloods done on friday.  Everything is great and my NUT told me she actually had nothing to say to me (in a good way).  But they did ask me to speak at their next information evening for people starting out.

Im down 77.4kgs/170lbs since my first consult weight (which was 6 weeks before surgery).  I passed my surgeons goal a couple of month ago and am 2kg/4.4lbs away from my reset goal.  But I have decided to go for another 5kgs after that and shoot for 85Kgs.

I have turned into a complete girly girl and now own more dresses and skirts that I have even had in my life.  And for the first time since I was a kid, I now have more coloured clothes than black clothes.  What a joyous thing it is to be able to wear colours.  I used to live in black because I thought that it would make people look at me less if I didnt stand out (always a challenge when you are 6'1).

Even though I often still see a big girl when I look in the mirror, I do look at the girl in the before photos and feel quite disassociated from her.  I just dont remember being her.

Im throwing a B&A pic in....

 

BUT....I have also got brave and put a bra and knickers photo in my profile.  One of my big fears coming into this, with so much to lose, was what kind of hot mess body I was going to end up with at the end of process.  Im not quite finished, but not far off as "skinny" wasnt my goal so Im not shooting for the bottom of my BMI range.  I like having curvy bits!

I had done the same YouTube'ing that so many of us do and was really scared.    I think my height and the fact that I carried my weight all over my body has done me some huge favours.  Its definitley jiggly, but I dont think it would make small children (or hot men!) run screaming in the other direction and luckily doesnt look too bad at all.  So I thought I would get brave and share for anyone who is interested.  Be nice!

You look fantastic! Also saw your profile pics. I hope I'm as fortunate as you. Do you do any kind of exercise if so what are they?

I do 40 mins of running (much easier now but still hate it!...lol) and 20 mins of weights about 3-4 times per week. And lots of squats to keep the butt from hitting the floor!...lol

You look awesome! different person!

You look AMAZING! Congratulations. And even your skin picture made me smile. Your body is not a hot mess, far from it! And just think what it will look like in a few months from now when the elastin and other fun things readjust.

You really are an inspiration. I can't really think of anything else to say but congratulations! Keep doing your thing! :)

Thanks PhillyGator

Congratulations!!! You look amazing, happy, healthy!!! 

You look great! I too can only hope to be a successful, your underwear shot looks good too, skin doesn't look too bad at all, must have been doing a lot of toning...
