5/19/09 - Update: 28 Days Post-Op

May 19, 2009

Well, in a couple of days, I will be one month post op and so far I have lost a total of 23 lbs since surgery.  Woohoo!  I seem to be losing at a rate of about 5 lbs a week but I joined Curves yesterday so all I can say now is "watch out"!  My birthday is in a couple of weeks, maybe I can lose 10 more pounds by then.  That would be a great birthday present to myself. 

I am down 3 pants sizes and 4 blouse sizes!!! 

I am just really getting into a vitamin, food and drink routine that works for me -- yeah!  It took a minute but...finally.  I am just begining to understand the cues that my body gives me related to fullness and hunger.  Boy, when your body says stop, it really means it. 

As of last week, I am off of the diabetes and blood pressure medicines - double woohoo!

Hopefully I will have more good news to post soon.

P.S. I received my blood test results yesterday - how ironic is it that my cholesterol level is too *low* now instead of too high (as it has been for the past several years)!
