3 Month Surgiversary
I am officially 3 months out from my surgery. I have lost a total of 85 lbs since the start of my two-week pre-op diet. I had my 3 month post op check up today and that went well. My BMI has gone down 12 points according to their records. According to mine it has gone down 14 points. They said the average for a patient with the RnY was 10, so I am doing wonderful in their eyes. Andy, the exercise guy, was great. We talked about some options for me to do some strengthening exercises and I tried out a few of their exercise bands. I found them to work well with my elbow, so I am going to start doing some of the exercises he recommended with the band.
They also reviewed my lab work and my glucose was 99. In the past I have struggled with Insulin Resistance and consistently been around 110 for my fasting glucose levels. Most consider below 100 in the normal range. I am ecstatic to be in the normal range and not be on the glucophage anymore!
1. I only have 62 pounds to go to my first major weight goal!
2. I have lost 24% of my body weight so far.
3. 15 pounds from my first 100 pounds lost.
4. 40 pounds from my husband's weight.
5. I have lost 45% of my excess weight!
6. To get to my ideal weight of 160, I only have 102 lbs to go!
7. I am 2.2 points away from a BMI under 40! At 247, I will be at a BMI of 39.9.
I had two major NSV's (nonscale victories) this past week. The first is that I bought a dress in a size XL and it fits. It's a little tight, but I can get it around my body and move in it. It may be another 20-30 pounds before I feel comfortable wearing it in public, but I know I am going to be able to wear it! And on Sunday, I went sledding with the kids and Tim. I was kind of moaning and groaning about having to go, but in the end I really enjoyed it. And even better the kids loved having me be a part of it.
