3-month surgiversary

Nov 01, 2010

So I'm officially 3 months out from my surgery date.  I'm down 50 pounds and about 6 inches off my waist.  I have 100 pounds more to lose to get to my goal weight, so I'm 1/3 of the way there.  Last week I went and tried on new pants for the first time since surgery.  I've officially gone from a size 28 to a size 20 if those jeans I put on are telling the truth.    My top has gone from a size 29 to a size 18-20 as well.  However, I still look the same in the face and I'm still carrying tons of weight in my stomach and not one person has commented on my weight loss yet.  I hope that will change soon as I continue to lose weight.  I could really use the validation from outside sources that I'm really changing.  I hate to rely just on the scale to show the difference.  The upside is that I'm now off all prescribed medications other than my blood pressure med and my Nexium.  The rest of the pills I take are all supplimentations.  My blood sugar remains at about 80 and my cholesterol is completely normal.  I don't see my surgeon again until January as I'm doing remarkably well other than this odd abdominal swelling I get when I eat or drink anything.  I swell up like a tick but he insists this will get better over the next year.  So that's my 3-month update.  I'll load pictures tonight for comparison.
