3 month surgaverssary

Feb 19, 2009

Well, today is my 3 month surgaverssary.  I am down 51 pounds since surgery plus the 25 I lost "training" for surgery.  I feel great.  I am concerned though, because I have had 2 weeks with a 0 loss.  I am working my butt at the gym, twice a day for a total of 90 min. this week and only lost 3 pounds.  I have lost a collective total of 55 inches.  11 more and that will be my height!

I have a problem with my left ankel, so I had an issue getting around.  Now I can move every day!  It feels wonderful.  I just want to be sure that I can get the rest of the weight off too.

My doc' s office did my blood work for my 3 month check and said it is all good.  So far I am happy with the surgery and its effects on my life.

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.  I have been busy with life and losing weight.  I am better about keeping my YouTube up to date each week. 

My weight is down to 276 pouinds, that is 6 pounds this week and a grand total of 73 pounds, and 48 since surgery.  I think this is weelk 11. 

I have picked up a part time job, and am really enjoying the work and the enviornment. 

I was having some serious issues with getting my exercise in, so I joined Curves.  I have been doing an hour every morning and loving it.  I have a wonderful work out partner who I met here on OH.  She lives in the same town, so we meet every morning and get our butts moving!

Life is busy, but good!

One Month Measurements

Dec 22, 2008

On 12/19/08 I took my measurements.  I have not done that since two and a half months pre op. 
I have lost 32.5 inches! 

That is a major NSV!  If you don't take measurements I would encourage doing it once a month.  Though we feel our clothes loosening and the sizes on the labels change, it is great to know how much fat is movin' on out!

12/17/08 Week 4 Post Op Update

Dec 17, 2008

I lost 2 lbs this week.  My post op total is 22 lbs.  Grand total of 47 lbs.

I did not get under the 300 mark this week.  No happy dance.

It is my fault.  Not enough water, exercise or protein shakes.  I can give you every excuse in the book why.  But they are just that, excuses.  I am greatful for the loss, especially since I hear a lot of folks talk about a 3 week stall.  I wanted more and I should have done more, period!

12/03/08 Week Two Post-Op

Dec 03, 2008

I lost 4 lbs this week.  That makes 13 since surgery and 38 since I started prepping the 2.5 months before surgery.

They removed my staples, which was not near as painful as I thought.  And I was cleared to eat any protein source except beef. 

All has been well this week, just still feeling tired and COLD!!!!!!! And I break out in tears once and a while for no good reason.  Hormones.
