Sooo Freaking close

Sep 17, 2012

So I go for my 1 month follow up tomorrow afternoon with Dr Vaughan and I weighed myself today....202 lbs!.....Soooo close to onderland :/ Dang it, unless I can lose 2 lbs in like 18 hrs...lol....
But, honestly I'm ok with being 202 right now! Never in mylife have I lost 30+ lbs in a month and know its gonna stay gone :D
I am extremely open with people about my surgery, I wanted it that way so I knew who was my support system and who were the naysayers to avoid!  Its actually pretty great, people I barely know come up to me and compliment me because they heard from someone, who heard from someones cousin that I had surgery.  It's pretty funny:)

I told one of my patients last night while I was hooking her up to the equipment becuase I lifted her shirt and saw some scars on her tummy.  I told her I had some similar from my WLS and she was shocked, she had a band put in about 18 months ago.  She told me she's only lost 35 lbs since she had it put in and when I told her I was at 30 lbs in a month she was totally shocked.  Now, nothing against people who choose the band, but this solidified my belief in my sleeve. 

OHHH, NSV..this weekend I could sit in my moms reading chair, fold my knees up and wrap my arms around my legs and sit comfortably.  Before if I even attempted it, I would hurt myself and/or cut of my windpipe and end up short of breath! LOL.....
So here's to getting cleared from my Dr to do something a bit more rigourous than walking on the treadmill at the gym! Fingers crossed ;)
