3 month visit

Nov 18, 2010

I was so excited today about my 3 month visit.  The only downside to this visit is that I returned from South Beach with a sore throat swollen glands and some form of infection.  I am down about 60 lbs per my aprn.  I think her estimate is from my highest weight even before lap band.  In reality I use 319 as my high after surgery and 266 is what I weighed in the office with my sneakers on and some rather heavy jewelry lol.  I will reclaim a couple of pounds lol so 264 is more realistic.  My home scale with some clothing on had my weight at 260.8.  I know my period is coming and I will probably be in the 250's by the end of the month.  I know that I have not been that size consistently as an adult since I was 21 pre-pregnancy. 

So officially I am down 55-59 lbs for three months not a bad deal.  If the next 3 months even come close to replicating the first three I am ecstatic.  Realistically I anticipate losing 30-40 lbs additionally in the next  3 months, which will allow me to be 85-99 lbs smaller yahoo.  This goal is attainable I will return to my Zumba class on Monday and to the gym shortly thereafter. 

I had a great time in Miami, I wore size 20's that fit me snug but great.  I wore a dress that used to be a shirt that fit me just fine 50 lbs ago.  I walked all night in my 3 inch heels and stood tall and proud and confident.  I love the new me that this RNY has created.  Oh I also did not need a seat belt extender and did not spill over into my neighbor's seat on the airplane.  The little things about this trip were wonderful. 

I believe I need to move to a warmer climate, the layer of subcutaneous fat that I have lost is truly missed for it's warming properties only!!!!

My dating life is still more active then it should be and I don't want to stop dating but it is so cumbersome to worry about all this on top of working out my own issues.  I did meet a great guy but I am so not ready for such a thing that I have to pull away and just make sure I remain cool friends with him.  I know I need to be ready in the future but today I can honestly say my new me is selfish and wants to be all about me and only me lol.
