9 weeks!
Jan 10, 2010
I am nine weeks out and down 42 pounds! And 2 pant sizes!!!! My current pants are size 22 and all really baggy so I went to look at some new ones today (I'm currently very poor so I wasn't sure if I'd buy any yet or not) but I found a pair of size 18 pants on clearance for $7. I figured I'd try them and even if they didn't fit, I'd probably still get them because they would hopefully fit soon. And they fit! Ok, they are a little tight but still, I had on size 18 pants and they totally buttoned and everything! When is the last time I was a size 18? Freshman year of college maybe? I stood in the dressing room for like 7 minutes just staring at myself and smiling. I haven't really had any wow moments yet so I am super excited. I want to go put the pants on right now and look at myself wearing them again. It made me very happy.In other respects I am still doing great. I had stalled for about 2 weeks (again!) so I started tracking my food again here on OH. I'm making sure to get around 100 grams of protein a day and have added back in a protein shake for breakfast everyday. So far it seems to be working. Water is surprisingly getting a little harder for me. I can get 45 ounces easily but the last 20 or so I can't seem to fit in. I think it's because I can't gulp it. Pre-op I could drink way more water in a day. So I'm working on it. Sitting here with a giant glass of water and ice that I have to finish before I go to sleep. My one bad point is still exercise. I was doing so well before all my hip problems and now I just can't seem to get back into it.
Overall though I am very happy with my progress. I think my loss is pretty good even though sometimes I get depressed when I see people who are about my same surgery date and have lost more. But I know there are also people further out who have lost less. I have set small goals for myself and I met the first one which was to get below 250 pounds. The next one is to have lost over 50 pounds. I'm almost there! I'm excited!
