Moving right along...

Sep 10, 2011

Well, it's been 7 weeks since my RNY gastric bypass.  I have lost 75.9 pounds from my highest weight of 330 pounds.   40.9 of that has been since surgery.  I have gone from a size 30 plus size women's pant to a size 24.  Last night I tried on everything in my bureau, closet, and storage and set aside everything that is too big so I can start getting rid of it all - at least 75% of my wardrobe is gone!  I can't believe it.

My next big step is to work on getting a daily exercise routine.  I've been doing a lot of walking, but that just isn't cutting it for me anymore.  I'm actually craving sweaty workouts.  My dad signed me up for membership to the Y today - he's so good to me.  I can't wait to start swimming and taking some Zumba classes there.  They even offer child care at certain times of the day, which is AWESOME for me - it takes away the only excuse I could really make for me not getting myself there to work out.  

My parents came to visit today, and my mom started crying when she saw me.  She can't believe how much weight I've lost.  I'm very happy with my progress so far, but this only makes me more excited for what's ahead.  I'm so happy I made this decision to start changing my life.
