Three Month Surgerversary Stats....

Jun 09, 2009

Today is my THREE MONTH Surgerversary Date (am I even spelling that right?).  I weighed in this morning at 221 pounds....took some new pictures (which I posted) and my measurements.....

The pics that I took today actually did make me smile...I put them next to the pre-surgery pics (when I weighed 293) and I could actually see the change.  Funny how it takes us so much longer than others.  Tonight my girls had t-ball practice & I saw a lot of parents/moms, etc. that I had not seen since pre-surgery.  One of the mom's kept telling my husband that the change in me was "amazing" and that the pounds were just "melting" off of me.  It is hard because I still have 66-76 more pounds to my goal weight of 145-155, so I still know in my mind that I am 65+ pounds overweight.  But, I guess I was really, really fat before because people definitely seem to be noticing.

Because there is more to this than just weight loss (okay--I definitely did this for the weight loss, but inches matter, too)....here are my inches lost so far from 3/15/2009 (Pre-surgery)  to 6/9/2009 (Three mo. post-op)

WAIST:              - 8.5"
NECK:                 - 2"
UPPER HIPS:      - 8.5"
LOWER HIPS:    - 6.5"
RIGHT THIGH:  - 6"
LEFT THIGH:     - 6"
RT ARM:             - 2.5"
LEFT ARM:         - 3"

TOTAL INCHES LOSS (ALL OVER BODY) SINCE PRE-SURGERY:  -53.25"            

Since this week I had Bronchitis, found out I have two stress fractures in my right foot & poison ivy on my arm from the church picnic, it really helped me to take some new pics & do my measurements.  I have not had my foot casted yet---I am seriously debating not having it done & letting it heal on it's own....at least then I can get my foot in a shoe & do my recumbent bike for cardio & then do weights, too......

So, that's my stats....still not on the A-Team, but feeling pretty good about moving up to at least C-Team-ish!!!

xo, Micheala.
