One Year-- I made it
Oct 22, 2009
Wow, a whole year had gone by. I am soooo proud of myself. I am down to 153 lbs form a start of 281. That's 128 lbs baby. Here's the measurments:Start Now
Waist 56 38
Bust 55 41
Chest 47 36 Look, a shape is emerging from the block.
Hip 55 41
Thigh 24 18
Upper arm 16 12
This difference is awesome. Not just in my shape, but my whole out look.
I fit where i didn't fit,
I can do things I couldn't do.
Almost anything, actually. There are so many things I want to try. Skiing is on the top of my list. Maybe skating,
I love my treadmill. Excercise is so much easier than I thought, I always dreaded and avoided it before.
I saw the nutritionist yeasterday, She wants me to slow down even more than I have in my weight loss. She feels 150 is a realistic goal for my age and height. But she also want me to ask the plastics guys for his opinion. I still think I'd like to aim for 140, so I'll stay on course, and loose a lb or so a month.
I've been eating about 1000 - 1200 calaries a day. and trying to keep the balance at 40% protein, 30%carbs, 30% fat. I find this to be difficult I always end up with too much protein and carbs, and not enough fat. This has affected my bowels, in ways most of you know about. So back to preplanning my days for a while till I get the mix right.
My new life style has opened my eyes to many of the things that go on in my life that I just chose to ignor for the sake of peace before. Well now I'm fighting back a bit and those around me are a little shocked. Well, they will have to suck it up. My confidence grows by the day, and changes will be made.
I love being an advocat for this surgery. Any who asks how I did this, gets all the details, and the OH web site and the MIS group web site if they want it.
Dr. Starr has been amazing. I see him next week and know in advance that he will be proud of me.
So for anyone new out there, this is the opportunity of your life. Take it an run with it. You will never regret it. I love my RNY
