April 19 was my 13-month surgerversary. Here's my update:The Numbers:
I've lost a total of 107.4 lbs:
2.2 lbs in the last month
My BMI is 24.8 - I'm so happy to now have a normal BMI!
I'm only 2.6 lbs away from my goal!I'm hoping to get there by next month!
I've lost a total of 73 inches, 2.5 in the last month:
14 inches from my waist
13 inches from my bust
9 inches from my chest
14.5 inches from my hips
4 inches from my upper arm
1.5 inches from my elbow
5.5 inches from my thigh
3 inches from my calf
3 inches from my knee
4 inches from my neck
1.5 inches from my ankle
I've lost 98% of my excess weight per my goal
In March I consumed an average of 1090.6 calories/day
32% came from fat (goal = <30%)
34.7% came from carbs (goal = <30%)
33.3% came from protein (goal = >Carbs)
I drank on average 82.2 oz of water/day (goal = > 64 oz/day)
What I've noticed:
I've gone from size 24 to size 5 pants. I'm now fitting into the odd size 3-4!
I'm also wearing size M tops, sweaters & coats.
My shoe size has gone from 7.5 to 5.5
My feet aren't as wide as they used to be.
I continue to get occasional compliments.
I'm able to eat more foods like toast & sushi & my daily caloric intake has increased.
I need to control my snacking.
I'm thrilled that I'm still losing both weight & inches every month!
During this time:
I've continued to go to Brampton & Durham Coffees.
I led another York Region Support Group.
I'm continuing to track everything I eat.
I exercise: treadmill 2-3X/week, Pilates1X/week & walking the dog.
I continue to get B-12 injections bi-monthly from my PCP.
I've decided on Plastic Surgery in December w Dr. Kreidstein.

So, I'm still loving my WLS? Absolutely! Now I can't wait for the final stage - Plastics!
