15-Month Update
Jun 19, 2009
June 19 is my 15-month surgerversary. Here's my update:The Numbers:
I've lost a total of 108.6 lbs:
This represents a gain of 2 lbs in the last month. Although this is disappointing, I'm gaining & losing the same 2-3 lbs.
Overall my weight has really stabalized
My BMI is 24.7 - I'm still happy to have a normal BMI!
I'm hovering around my goal! I'm still hoping to lose another 5 lbs by the end of the year.
I've lost a total of 77 inches, 2 in the last month:
15.5 inches from my waist
13 inches from my bust
9.5 inches from my chest
15 inches from my hips
4 inches from my upper arm
1.5 inches from my elbow
5.5 inches from my thigh
3.5 inches from my calf
4 inches from my knee
4 inches from my neck
1.5 inches from my ankle
I've lost 98.7% of my excess weight per my goal
In May I consumed an average of 1142.3 calories/day
29.4% came from fat (goal = <30%)
40.4% came from carbs (goal = <30%) Oops!
30.2% came from protein (goal = >Carbs)
I drank on average 73.4 oz of water/day (goal = > 64 oz/day)
What I've noticed:
I've gone from size 24 to size 4 pants.
I'm also wearing size S tops & sweaters.
I'm buying clothes like crazy now that my weight & clothes size has stabalized.
My shoe size has gone from 7.5 to 5-5.5
I'm buying shoes & sandals like crazy!
I continue to get occasional compliments.
A former student from my Q1/2008 Project Management class almost didn't recognize me!
My Uncle's girlfriend asked my Uncle who I was!
I'm able to eat more foods like rye toast & sushi & my daily caloric intake has increased.
It's a conscious effort to control my snacking every day.
I'm thrilled that I'm maintaining my goal weight & still losing inches!
During this time:
I went to the Brampton & Scarborough Coffees
I led another York Region Support Group.
I went to 6 formal Support Group meetings at Dr. Starr's office led by Shelley Aronov.
I'm continuing to track everything I eat.
I exercise: treadmill 2-3X/week & walking the dog.
I continue to get B-12 injections bi-monthly from my PCP.
I've still on track for Plastic Surgery in December w Dr. Kreidstein.
TT < $7K & Breast Reduction = OHIP
I'm going to see if I can also have my thighs done at the same time.
I'm also getting lazer eye surgery in August.
So, I'm still loving my WLS? Absolutely! Now I can't wait for the final stage - Plastics!
