I was going to wait until tomorrow to post because it would be my 2 weeks...but I had my first post-op appointment today. I weighed in at 275 pounds. My starting weight was 297 pounds. OMG!!! I am 22 pounds down and I have my TOM right now....so I could be retaining a little too!!! I am wearing pants that I have not been able to put on in 3 or 4 years.
I look in the mirror and I guess it is way too soon for me to see anything...but the proof is in the smaller clothing. I have this really cute pair of capris that I bought a few years ago on clearance and I figured one day I would be able to wear them. Less than 4 weeks ago I could not even bring both halves of the zipper together to zip them up. This past Saturday, I tried them on and they zipped right up. I really need to stay up on my measurements. I think that is where it is really going to be real for me until I get more weight off because like I said, I am just not seeing it in the mirror.
I have been cleared for my "forever" diet aka solids. YAY!
From here on I am going to make weekly posts only because I think I am so darn boring. But, if anything exciting or notable happens, then I will be sure to make posts in between. Thanks for being a part of my journey.
Just remember that your blog is for you. I forget that sometimes too and get so wrapped up in trying to make my posts interesting that I miss writing about things that I'll want to remember down the road. Great job on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteBonnie...that is such a great point. Thanks for reminding me of that.
ReplyDeleteditto what bonnie said. congrats on the HUGE loss and the 'new' pants. I sometimes think closet shopping is better than store shopping because we KNOW how something didn't fit before :)
