Happy Anniversary!

It was one year ago today that I did my gastric bypass. So far I have not regretted doing it at all! Which is a good thing :). I have lost a lot of weight, I feel better, and I have to get all new clothes! When I started the process I weighed 136 kilos. When I had the surgery I weighed 130 kilos. Now I weigh 86 kilos. I still have some to go, but all in all I am very happy with the progress I have made. Some of the doctors want me to weigh 60 kilos, some are happy with 70. Quite frankly I am aiming for like 75 and I will be a super happy person. If I make it down to 70 or 60 then good deal, if not, meh.
I am putting up some photos here and my measurements so that everyone can see what a difference there is, not just in weight. I have actually refrained from measuring until now, I wanted to be able to do it after a year and be really shocked, which I am hoping I am!

Here are the old measurements:

Upper Arm: 49
Shin: 50
Chest: 137
Neck: 37,5
Waist: 131
Knee: 47
Hips: 150
Elbow: 28,5
Thigh: 88

And here are the new measurements:

Upper Arm: 33 Minus 16 cm
Shin: 39 Minus 11
Chest: 102 Minus 35 cm
Neck: 30 Minus 7,5
Waist: 93 Minus 38 cm
Knee: 37 Minus 10 cm
Hips: 112 Minus 38 cm
Elbow: 20 Minus 8,5 cm
Thigh: 61 Minus 27 cm

Total number of centimeters lost: 191

I would like to point out that I am 168 cm tall. I have lost more centimeters than my height! That is like Billy my brother tall! And enough kilos to equal a whole other person, albeit a small person, but still. 50 kilos is pretty average for many women. Man it feels good :).

I will be putting up more pictures of the new me now that I am not trying to keep it all on the down low for my anniversary blog post :). Plus now I actually don't mind having photos taken, or trying on clothes or any of those things I had so many problems with before :).
