6 Month Post op check-up

May 15, 2009

May 5, 2009 I had my 6 month visit with the dietician and Dr. Toder.

The Stats-
Weight- highest 320- now 197
Pants highest 26-28- now 14-16
Tops highest 3XL(26-28) now L or XL
BMI highest 50- now 31 


I weigh 197 according to their scales, 193 on mine that morning.  I have lost 77 pounds since the morning of RNY surgery, 53% of my excess weight. Body fat it now 38.1% at 2 weeks post op it was 52.6%. Lean Muscle mass is now 122 pounds, at  2 weeks post op it was 123.5 pounds.

I now can wear size 16 pants, and sometimes a 14. My tops are L and XL. What a change from skin tight 26-28 jeans and 3XL tops. It's time to buy new bras again- Why are the "girls" the 1st to change size? My shoe size is also shrinking. I was wearing 11wide- 11medium fit now.

I feel wonderful. I have incredible energy. My knees don't hurt like they did at 320#. I haven't worn my knee brace for over a month. I haven't had a synvisc injetion (injectible lubricant)  in my knees for 1 year- It was a regular procedure every 4-5 months pre-surgery.

DH and I are enjoying our new bodies, weight loss and healthier selves. It's been wonderful to do this together.
