my surgery date was 2/10/11 . . . it's now 6/25/11, so that's 19 weeks and 2 days . . . 135 days . . . what a difference! i have been feeling stuck lately, because obviously when you have less weight to lose, it's going to come off more slowly.  

so, whenever i get stuck, i will (after getting totally frustrated) often remember to measure myself to see if i have lost inches because i'm not losing pounds. i have been between 194 and 191 for about a month now, so needless to say, i'm very frustrated. i'm still working out all the time, and i'm still fanatical about what i'm eating. so even if it's not showing in the scale, it's definitely showing in the inches. i'm really happy about these numbers! 


                                                        weight 270                               weight 222                           weight 191

i can add a new category to this, my sizes. 


                             pants size                 50                                          42                                            36
                             underwear                xxl                                        large                                        medium

                             shirts                       xxxl                                       xl                                             large

i have never been able to wear a bathrobe before because when i would wear one that went around my belly, it would be so long it would go under my feet, and then the tie would never stay closed unless i double knotted it, and then it would actually hurt when i would sit down in it! i now can wear a bathrobe (at a hotel recently for our anniversary, i wore a robe that said "one size fits most"! woooo hoooo! 

although the skin is not pretty right now, i am very happy with what's going on. i make sure i drink at least 80 oz of water (i hear that's supposed to help with the skin) have ALL my protein (also for skin and hair - which i'm continuing to lose tons of hair even though i have between 75 and 120 grams of protein daily). i work out my arms daily (i have to demonstrate arm exercises at work for my patients, so i just do them with them) and do all kinds of walking (over 10k steps per day, plus walking on the treadmill)

i'm just literally, working my ass off! lol. when in my lifetime have i ever been able to say that i was about 40 pounds overweight? NOW!
