13 weeks/3months post op
Mar 16, 2011
Hey yall, well today makes 13 weeks post op. Yesterday was my 3 month surgerversary-sp. I had quite a few highs this past week. Where do I begin...hope I dont forget anything. Lets start with the weight. On Monday which is the last day I weighed, I weighed in at 284 which makes me own 4lbs since last week and finally 51 pounds since surgery. Last week I think I told you guys that I was going to Chicago and if I had lost 50lbs by Friday, that I was gonna buy myself a new Coach purse. Well when I left on Friday I was still 288 lbs. I decided because I had done well up until then, that I would still buy myself a purse. Well I bought 3...GREAT SALE. Yeah I know that was a bit excessive, but it really was a good sale. I'm glad i did though because I weighe myself on Monday which I usually never due, just out of curiosity and discovered i was down 4lbs. I'm not gonna lie, I ate popcorn, cake, fried fish, and fries while in the Chi, but who goes to Chicago without eating the great food. Of course i couldn't eat alot but I did eat what I wanted.
Some NSV I discovered this past week: We went to a Chicago Bulls game, and you know those little baby seats they have you pay a ridiculous amount of money for....well, I fit in them and comfortablely. My fat on my thighs didn't hurt. I bought and outfit in a 2X instead of 3-4X to take with me. This next one is crazy, but still a victory for me. As I ran up my stairs I noticed that I heard a noice coming from my thighs, they were flopping back and forth instead of rubbing together from being so big. LOL. The last one, which I just noticed tonight is, while giving my baby a bath in the tub, I was able to get on my knees and it didnt hurt as fast or as much as it used to. I could get up easy too. Another one is that my jacket has gotten so big, that I had to wear hubby's jacket which is a 2x I think and its still too big for me. Oh I cant forget...hubby measured me yesterday and I have lost 3-5 inches on every part of my body. This is compared to my measurements in January though. I dont know what my measurements where the day of surgery. These NSV far outweighed my scale loss this week. And BTW I'm excited about having a scale loss, cuz I thought a sistah was on a stall.
As prior weeks, I was able to get all my workouts and vitamins in. I think I've been tripping on my liquids though. Back to counting again for this upcomng week. Im gonna have my hubby hide my scale as well, so my next few weeks I will blog not konwing my weight. My 3 month follow up and blood work is tomorrow, so I'll let you know how that goes as well.
