Nov 19, 2010
I suppose I'll start this post with a little update on my weight loss along the way so far.April 2010, 354# starting weight (surgery weight 340)..amounts below are from starting weight
2 mths postop..63# gone
3 mths postop..77# gone
4 mths postop..83# gone
5 mths postop..98# gone (100# lost at 5 mths 10 days)
6 mths postop..105#
7 mths postop..117# gone so far
I weigh 237 pounds as of today. I was wearing a size 32 jean. Today, it depends on the brand of jeans, but I'm claiming the lowest number that I have fit into, which is a size 18. I never would have guessed back in April that by now I'd be in a size 18. Whenever I get frustrated, I just remind myself that 7 mths ago I could have never picked out a pair of 18 jeans and fit into them. That was a dream then, and a reality now. I'm still actively losing weight, and I cannot wait to lose another 23 pounds so I will weigh less than my husband..lol Then my next goal is to get under 200 pounds, again..another dream that I cannot believe will actually happen.
I'm feeling great. I have so much more energy. My house is much cleaner than it used to be...lol I have days where I wish I could eat like I used to, and I don't mean the amount. I just wish I could pick up a piece of pizza and take a big bite out of it and not have to chew it so much before swallowing. Or take a normal bite from a hamburger. BUT...I am very happy with my decision to have surgery.
