August 19 is my 17-month surgerversary. Here's my update:The Numbers:
I've lost a total of 111 lbs:
I lost a grand total of 2 oz! The weight loss has really slowed down!
My BMI is still 24.1 - I'm so happy to have a normal BMI!
I'm hovering around my goal! At this point, my main goal is to maintain my current weight.
I've lost a total of 82 inches, 1.5 in the last month.
15.5 inches from my waist
15 inches from my bust
11 inches from my chest
15 inches from my hips
4.5 inches from my upper arm
1.5 inches from my elbow
6 inches from my thigh
3.5 inches from my calf
4 inches from my knee
4.5 inches from my neck
1.5 inches from my ankle
I've lost 100.9% of my excess weight per my goal
In June I consumed an average of 1188.9 calories/day
32.1% came from fat (goal = <30%)
38.7% came from carbs (goal = <30%)
29.2% came from protein (goal = >Carbs) Oops!
I drank on average 75.4 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 tops & sweaters.
My shoe size has gone from 7.5 to 5-5.5
I continue to get occasional compliments.
It continues to be a daily effort to control my snacking.
I'm thrilled that I'm maintaining my goal weight & still losing inches.
During this time:
I went to the Brampton & Scarborough Coffees
I led another York Region Support Group.
I'm continuing to track everything I eat.
I really not doing any exercise besides walking the dog. I need to do better
I continue to get B-12 injections bi-monthly from my PCP.
The most exciting news this month was I now have a date for my plastics: November 23, 2009!
TT < $7K & Breast Reduction = OHIP
Dr. Kreidstein told me not to lose anymore.I'm losing from my breasts & can't affort to lose any more.
I'm not getting laser eye surgery due to oddly shaped corneas. Very disappointing!
So, am I still loving my WLS? Absolutely! Now I'm getting nervous about the final stage - Plastics!
