Day 47! Almost 7 weeks post-op

Jul 20, 2015

Wow I can't believe how the time flies! 47 days since surgery and I've lost 46 lbs!! I've also lost almost 40 inches from all over my body!! It's hard for me to believe, sometimes I feel like I'm not losing at all, and then something will happen, like last night driving to the drive-in theater with my daughter and I noticed how far my stomach is now from the steering wheel (when right before surgery it was touching it!). I also no longer need my seat belt extender!! Such a great feeling!! I am able to walk farther without being out of breath or hurting. It's the most amazing feeling! I did have a rough patch about a week and a half ago. My weight loss stalled a bit (which from what I hear is normal but annoying!) and I was feeling a bit frustrated. But today when I weighed at my doctors I lost 6 lbs in a week! Whoo hoo! I've started back at my water aerobics, which is so much fun, and my swim suit is way too big now. It's a size 34, I bought a new one that fits (a bit tight, and I'm waiting till next week to start wearing it) that's a size 26. 4 sizes down!! I'm so happy with how things are going, and I haven't felt this healthy in a very very long time!
