Aug 03, 2011

My starting weight was 423 pounds. My surgery was on June 28, 2011. My one week post-op check up ws on July 6, 2011 and I was down to 404 pounds this was amazing to me 19 pounds already gone. Yesterday August 3, 2011 was 5 weeks from surgery and I am now down to 374. A lot of people say that they can tell in my face but I really can't tell yet. So my total to date loss is 49 pounds. My jean shorts that I wore before surgery a lot bigger on my hips now than they had ever been and I am constantly pulliing them up. I have even had to tighten the strings in my shorts that I wear around the house. My when I really noticed that I am losing the weight is when I got behind the wheel of our vehicle yesterday morning to go to my appointment. I noticed that my belly is not 1/2 inch from the steering wheel anymore its more like 5 inches away. That made me really happy. My doctor is proud and said that I am a little bit ahead of schedule. He was aiming for 160 pounds lost total which would bring me in at 250 pounds. My personal goal is to be 200-225. I don't go back to the doctor until October 3rd, 2011. I don't want to weigh myself at home because I am afraid of failure.
