3 Weeks Post-Op... I've Already Lost HOW MUCH?? =)

Jun 10, 2011

Emerging from the pain and murk (and gas.. so much darn gas...  >.< ) that is post-op with some (really, REALLY) good news:  The bathroom scale I had ordered from Amazon.com arrived earlier this week, and after much trepidation I finally planted my feet on the sucker and got a number. And guess what??


Since my last weigh-in (whilst being discharged from the hospital), I've lost 36 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


I weighed myself 1 day short of my 3 week surgiversary (not sure if I spelled that correctly), and was discharged 2 days after, so I guess it would actually be 36 lbs in 18 days, or 2 lbs a day.     Unreal.

So for the record:

Highest weight (at Primary care Dr.'s for her clearance letter, apprx. 5 weeks before surgery): 364 lbs.
Weight leaving hospital, post-op: 355 lbs.
Weight 3 weeks (18 days) post-op: 319 lbs.

So, I'm thinking that losing will slow as I'm able to eat more real foods, but for now, especially after enduring the post-op pain and second guessing... Well, I think it's a great kick-off to the rest of my life.  ^.^
