7 weeks today

Nov 01, 2011

highest 290
pre-op 272 
7 weeks post-op 239
BMI down 9.1
 
I am down 51 total.  I've very pleased with this.  I've received some very nice compliments for people who haven't seen me in a few months. 

I've done a little shopping.  I'm fitting into 18/20's comfortably and I'm happy with this.
 
Today I started back at the gym.  It felt good.  My right hip is causing the same old problems.  I'm 1/2 inch shorter on my left leg and working out always causes pain in my hip all the way down to my knee.  I just try to suck it up but man it is hard some times.  I have percocets to help but really don't want to take them just to be able to work out comfortably.  We will see.

My daughter started the gym today with me.  She did great.  She's 13.  I'm proud of her.

Eating is going ok.  Have had a few issues with some veggies.  I will attempt those again in a week or so.
Fluid intake is going well.  I'm needing to stay focused on that....sometimes forcing myself to get ounces in.  I know it will get better.

It is getting easier and I'm definitely happy with my decision to have the surgery.
