Almost a month out...
Apr 19, 2011
So I am almost one month out and getting ready to take my one month photos. I had been trying to hang in there and the scale wasn't really budging in the past week. Of course, my life has been erratic with two dear friends dying within the past four days and running back and forth to the hospital. I was drinking as I should but didn't get my protein in every day. Anyway, yesterday I had a minor victory... my friend gave me her too big size 20 jeans and I could fit them!!! In my experience jeans often run tighter than slacks so that is great.
Today I hit an even bigger landmark as I weighed in at 249.8 lbs!!! It feels so good to weigh under 250 pounds for the first time in years. Then the next wonderful landmark came this evening when I went to pick up my tshirt for an organization I volunteer with and I had to switch the 2X I ordered for an XL!!!
I am finally cleared for vigorous exercise and I have begun working with resistence bands and will ramp up the walking and restart the pilates tomorrow.
I am learning the difference between that good sensation of fullness and that one bite too much. What a gift that hunger is not a big issue after this surgery. And to top it off, due to my positive experience another dear friend has started her prep for VSG and will likely have it in 2 months. She can barely walk right now due to her weight and arthritis so I am so happy for her.
Will figure out how to post pictures and finally get my avatar and before and one month photos up. It's fun to uncover the prettier me underneath all that flab.
