14-Month Update
May 22, 2009
May 19 was my 14-month surgerversary. Here's my update:The Numbers:
I've lost a total of 110.6 lbs:
3.2 lbs in the last month
My BMI is 24.2 - I'm so happy to now have a normal BMI!
I'm 0.6 lbs under my goal! Now I'm hoping to lose another 5 lbs by the end of the year!
I've lost a total of 75 inches, 2 in the last month:
14 inches from my waist
13 inches from my bust
9 inches from my chest
15 inches from my hips
4 inches from my upper arm
1.5 inches from my elbow
5.5 inches from my thigh
3.5 inches from my calf
4 inches from my knee
4 inches from my neck
1.5 inches from my ankle
I've lost 100% of my excess weight per my goal
In April I consumed an average of 1178 calories/day
37.2% came from fat (goal = <30%)
33.3% came from carbs (goal = <30%)
29.5% came from protein (goal = >Carbs)
I drank on average 69.8 oz of water/day (goal = > 64 oz/day)
What I've noticed:
I've gone from size 24 to size 4 pants.
I'm also wearing size S-M tops, sweaters & coats.
My shoe size has gone from 7.5 to 5-5.5
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 rye toast & sushi & my daily caloric intake has increased.
I still need to control my snacking.
I took the 5-Day Pouch Test & that helped me to achieve goal!
I'm thrilled that I'm still losing both weight & inches every month!
During this time:
I went to the Brampton, Durham & Scarborough 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.
TT & Breast Reduction < $7K
I'm going to see if I can also have my thighs done at the same time.
So, I'm still loving my WLS? Absolutely! Now I can't wait for the final stage - Plastics!
