9 weeks / 4 days after surgery

Jul 29, 2011

I haven't updated my blog in a while, I've been super busy with work. I just passed the 9 week mark after my surgery (2 months and almost 2 weeks)

I weighed myself again today and I was surprised to see it jumped down to 225. That's a lovely number to me. For all the time I was dieting before the RNY surgery, I had gotten right near this weight, but I was never able to keep it going. Now I feel like it's just starting.

So, 225 gives me a total weight loss of 55 pounds (280 was the starting weight before 2 week liquid diet). It also gets me right on that 40 pounds loss mark since the actual surgery on May 24th.

I can feel it too. I am down 2 pants sizes (I had extra size 14 jeans that I had bought back when I was exercising/dieting before the surgery (wishful thinking). It felt amazing to put on those size 14 jeans.

I am trying on clothes that I haven't worn in a while and it is so liberating. But I think what makes me most happy is the change in my health. I feel better, I eat better, I look better. I'm happy with my new diet, very proud that I can say NO whithout even giving it a second thought. I have still not dumped on anything yet (yay!)


Bought a new bicycle and hoping to get into a stable rythym (until it gets too cold). I'm feeling so great, and my self confidence is way up. My next mini goal is to get to 199 pounds. Only 26 pounds to go! I just have to stay the course, which I never intend to stray from.

So that's all for now. I'll continue to update and add pictures as things progress.

Feeling great -H
