First Post-Op Appt
Mar 13, 2009
This is such a wonderful tool to help all of us! I am feeling so grateful and blessed right now. I had my first post-op appt today. Since my journey began, I have lost a total of 42lbs. Wow! I lost my initial 23lbs that was required. Then I lost 10lbs the week before my surgery from being sick (shhhh, I didn't tell the doctor I was sick) and I've lost 9lbs since surgery. Not only that, I measured myself when I got home and here are the results:- 1/2" upper arm
- 2 1/2" lower arm
- 1" wrist
- 1/4" thigh
- 1/2" calf
- 4" bust
- 4" waist
- 7 1/2" belly
Yeah! I'm so excited! I have this beautiful nightie that my husband bought me years ago that had never fit and now it fits, and is even a little big! I am so wound up I don't know if I can sleep tonight!
So the doctor advanced me to the Stage III diet, which I have all ready tried some things and have been okay with it. Yeah!!!! Also, I can exercise now with no restrictions. I go back to work on 3/30/2009 and I can't wait. I will be below 200lbs when I go back to work. It's been so so so so long!
I love this website and the group support we have here! It's a great place to be!
Will post more soon!
