4 months already?!?!?

Apr 12, 2011

I thought I would go back and track how much weight I had lost each month since my surgery and post it on here. This is a nice reminder to myself that progress is happening. Sometimes I can be tough on myself, but looking back at these calculations; I have done a pretty good job! My goal is only 9.4lbs away, which feels unreal still to me. I never imagined being this weight ever! This journey has not been easy, but every day is worth it! I started my serious journey to lose weight back in January of 2010. It took my 11 months to lose 44lbs, it was not easy, and the scale would go up and down. I also had the help of a weight loss drug called Phentermine. You can only take it for 3 months at a time, and I took it two different times during this 11 month period. I don't think I would have been able to lose the 44lbs without it, and I am grateful for that, but defiantly not something you want to depend on to lose weight. I never did feel "healthy" when taking it. When I stopped taking it, the weight almost immediately started coming back on.

I had my Sleeve in December of 2010, and it has taking me almost 4 months to lose another 40 lbs, funny! But I really do feel healthy now, and I am really glad I made that decision. I am a much happier person now, with a lot more energy and confidence.  It has taken some time for me to get used to my new body, but I am getting there.  I didn't realize that would be hard for me to do, but it has been.
