Big Update: I'm Overweight!

Nov 09, 2009

It's been 3 months and almost 2 weeks since surgery and I'm finally just overweight! I weighed in today at 179 lbs, making my bmi 29.8. Woohoo!!!! I've never in my adult life been in the 170 range at all. I'm so happy. I'm working my tool and taking names, lol. I'm just soo happy to be on the downward slope I honestly haven't noticed any stalls or whatever. I don't compare myself with others who had surgeryies close to mine either. I really think the positive outlook and no worries attitude has helped a lot. I only look at the scale to keep general tabs on my progress. I've lost 51 lbs now, which is pretty awesome. I've been getting into modeling a little bit because a few friends suggested it. I'll upload a couple photos soon. I'm doing really great, and I've been able to eat everything I've tried, except for dry microwave reheated chicken, which gave me the foamies once, yet the chicken itself didn't come up at all, go figure. I still take my vitamins daily and meet my protein goals all the time. I love my pouch and my new life. I honestly thought it would be harder than it has been. It's not easy but it has been much easier than dieting ever was before surgery.

Mentally it's a little weird. I can see my wrists becoming much thinner, and many of my rings are too big right now. I fit into some size 14s perfectly, while others are lay down on the bed types of fits I'd never wear in public. I actually had to buy a couple pairs of jeans because of this. I haven't lost the girls (yet) thank god. They're still the same size, but I will need some new bras soon anyway because I'm more like a 36-38 than a 40-42 these days. My scars are still kinda pink and very visible but my three month checkup went really well. Lesseee... I think that's it.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive in my journey. I love you guys! Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything or have any questions!
