Total pounds lost since surgery 58.25 pounds PLUS the 34 pounds lost in 6 months pre-op diet is...... 92.25 pounds in 10 months !!!!!
I am thrilled with my results of this whole process. All the pre-op testing let me know that for a 50 plus year old woman, my heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder.....all are in working order. I had, and recovered from major surgery. I have happily lost 10 clothing sizes (28 down to a 18) and I feel great. I am off of all narcotic pain medications for my arthritis, and thanks to chosing a sleeve, I can still take my anti inflammatories to keep me comfortable. I am 'working out' 3 days a week at Curves, have improved my range of motion, and can actually now jog in place a bit.
I can see and smell and taste getting out of the two hundreds.....maybe next month !!!??
