1 Month Post-Op Stats (LOVING LIFE!)

Dec 08, 2009

So today I am 1 month out from surgery and feel pretty darn good about how I've done so far. My measurements are more impressive to me than my weight loss, but I am happy about both. I've lost THIRTEEN inches in a month and lost 21 lbs!!!!!

Surgery Day:

270 lbs.  Chest 46" - Bicep 19" - Forearm 12" - Waist 47" - Hips 53" - Pant Size 24

Today:

249 lbs.  Chest 44" - Bicep 18" - Forearm 11" - Waist 41" - Hips 50" - Pant Size 20

I still have to kick myself in the butt to start getting that required 30 minutes of exercise in each day, as I know this would increase my losing and better my remaining flab. That starts TODAY!

So as far as food goes, I've been pretty adventerous in my eating, since I'm tolerating everything so well. I've not touched sugar or pasta or white carbs of any kind. I can eat fish, poultry and even a small bit of steak if well chewed. I eats lots of chili and still use popscicles as my dessert daily. I stay away from bread, but have been eating half a toasted sandwich thin (they have protein!) with a little natural PB for breakfast a few times a week. I'm keep my calories around 600/day and my portions are already at 1/4 cup with no problem. I never drink with meals, and am swallowing my split pills with ease.

I FEEL GREAT, my 6 little incisions are almost invisable, I have still never dumped or even felt stuffed, but do know it's time to stop when my nose starts running. I LOVE MY RNY and the support and advice I've received from you all!
