3 months post op, -60 lbs!

Aug 20, 2013

Three months post op and having a great summer.  The hip and lower back pain kicks up once in a while, but not near as much as it used to.  I'm down 60 lbs from my March 27th weigh in.   It is different to go into a regular store that is not LB and find cute clothes that are XL.  I'm so used to grabbing XXL mens or XXXL womens. 

I am really starting to notice the loss in my hips and thighs now.  The first couple months it was all the upper torso and face area.  My bra size decreased rapidly.  Now it's finally working on my lower level.  I'm into a size 18 pant, tight, but I can wear them.  20 is just a bit big, especially if they are jeans that stretch by the end of the day, I'm constantly pulling them up.

In July I went to Whidbey Island and it was enjoyable to walk the dogs and even stroll through stores without pain in my feet, knees, hips, and lower back.

By August 7th I was in Vegas and I didn't get tired at all walking the strip in 100 degree heat.  It was enjoyable with very little sweating.  I love the hot weather though.

Next month I will be visiting Sherman County to see my family.  I haven't seen them since February, when I was at my very heaviest.  I think they will be in shock to see the dramatic change in my size, hair, coloring, and overall happiness.  

This was well worth the time, effort, and money to get a life I never knew I was missing.
