Over the years, I watched my waist disappear. Now my new life is unfolding, With hopes my new body I will be remolding, I had gastric bypass on 8/20/09. I weighed 230 when I came home the next day from the hospital. Today is 8/28/09 and it is the first day I can stand up wit out ripping/burning pain. I plan on going back to the gym in about 1 week. I havent stepped on the scale yet. Not something I want to push yet. Going in the hospital at 223 and coming home at 230 was rough enough. 8/31/09 - After post-op Visit - Post-op went great! I am down to 205 from 230!! Not bad! Feeling really good. Still a bit sore on the left side. Treadmill is being delivered today so that is my foot in the right direction until I am healed enough to head to the gym. 10/06/09 - Doctor visit went great! I am down 41lbs. I now weight 189. I havent really bought any new clothes yet so I dont know what size I am in. I am still wearing my 16 jeans which dont stay up anymore with out a belt. In about another 2-3 weeks I will go and buy 1 or 2 pair of jeans. 12/28/09 Stepped on the scale today and guess what!? I weigh 159! I am down a total of 71lbs since surgery on 8/20. Thats only 4 months! Wow Wee! I have been buying new clothes here and there. My jean size now is a 9/10 down from a size 16/18. My shirts are medium down from a XXL. My winter coat from last year is a size 2XL and I drowned in it. I have been wearing a coat my 12 year old daughter doesnt wear..lol I average about 4-5 pound lose per week. I havent hit a stall yet so that is good. I really wonder when it will stop??
