3 month update
on May 20, 2010 6:38 am
Well, I am 12 weeks post-op next Monday. I've had my first labs done and everything looks....REALLY good! I'm so happy and relieved. I've lost 50 lbs. and have another 46 to my goal. So, I've hit two milestones...the half-way mark and the 50 lb. mark. Woohoo!!!
I'm still working on "head issues" and anticipate the battle with those will be ongoing, but I feel very good and I'm pretty happy with the way things are going so far.

post op

I'm 9.5 weeks post-op now and I've lost 43 lbs. I'm almost to the half-way point to reaching goal. I'm down 3 pants sizes and I'm finally feeling pretty good.
The first six weeks were rough. I was having some real bathroom troubles (like 10-12 times a day!!) and got pretty dehydrated. Every time I put anything in my mouth (including water), I would end up in the bathroom! It was terrible and I was wondering why I had done this to myself. My C-diff test kept coming back negative, but all of my symptoms matched. So, my doc gave me a prescription for Flagyl and within two days I was feeling 1000% better. Since  the third week in April, I'm feeling great. I haven't had a bit more trouble.
I got a little discouraged when I didn't lose an single ounce from April 10-22. But I was back to losing again last week with a six pound loss from Sunday to Sunday.
I've been tracking my weight and taking my measurements every Sunday and had to double check my waist measurement to make sure I hadn't misread it this past weekend. I'd lost 1.5inches from my waist during the week! That was a real motivator!!
Someone snapped a picture of me last weekend and I was surprised by the difference when I saw it. I really hadn't been feeling like I looked any different.
I'll post some new pictures soon. 
Thanks to all of my friends for your support!!
