Down 60 lbs. in 4 months!!!
Mar 11, 2009
My 4 month surgiversary is tomorrow and as of this morning I have lost 60 lbs. from my highest of 244! WOOO HOOO! Yay me!!!!I am wearing XL's and 16's on top, and 18's on the bottom (NOT 18W - regular 18's!) I had to shop for a new bathing suit and I found one at Marshall's for $25 and it is a size 14. It's a teeny-weeny bit snug (not uncomfortably), but I figure it will fit perfectly in Myrtle Beach a month from now.
On Feb. 1st a new consignment store opened in Prospect - Aura's Plus Size Consignment - and I shop there almost weekly. I have also consigned a lot of my old clothes there. This is where I buy the majority of my clothes now. I get jeans for about $10 and tops for even less.
On another note... today would have been my dad's 70th birthday. He passed away on 8/25/92 at the age of 53 from heart disease. He had his first heart attack at 41, a double bypass at 42, and a triple a couple of weeks before he died. I am 45 now, and though my cholesterol was never dangerously high, when I turned 43 I felt as though I had dodged a genetic bullet. Now since my RNY I know I am healthier and hopefully will never have a heart attack.
I chose this surgery to be healthy - and I have to say I have never felt better!! My blood tests all came back normal with the exception of vitamin D, so I have added 1,000 IU's of D to my daily regimen.
Hopefully I will get some pictures taken today and post them tonight.
