Pre-op Progress II
Oct 22, 2014
This is just a quick update to say I am reaching 50 lbs of weight loss. I'm so close! I'm 2 pounds away. I have been maintaining for a few weeks, but I was able to lose 3 lbs this week because I'm super busy at work. No time to snack when I'm training 4 new employees!
I don't feel a ton of difference in my clothes, but I think in another few pounds I will. I have had to pull up some of my pairs of pants more than I usually would.
My 3 month weight loss program is coming to a close next week. They will submit all of my information to the insurance company. I have the opportunity to extend my program another 3 months while I wait for approval and a surgery date. So I'm going to do that. I hope I can learn even more and maybe lose some more weight too!
I think OSU's program is very good. If you are in the Columbus area, or even the rest of Ohio, I highly recommend it. I live about 10 minutes away from where the program takes place, so it is very convenient. But even if I had to drive from further away it would be worth it. They are great!
I need to focus on learning more about exercise and strength training in these 3 months... It is definitely lacking right now. I know how to do the elliptical and exercise bike, but as for weights or any other strenght training I am lost!
My family and friends have been very supportive. I hope they continue their support during my surgery and after. I have really only told my immediate family and a couple of friends. I am nervous what people will say, but I'm going to talk to a counselor about a few things. Maybe they will be able to help.
