One Month Post-op

I am down 40 lbs (that's with 16 lbs lost pre-op). I feel like a whole new person already. I have more energy, I feel like I've lost 100 lbs already lol! My surgery went VERY well and I would do it again in a heart beat. I had no real pain just discomfort the first week after that I didn't even need pain meds.

 

I'm loving the new me, and excited to see the rest of me. I didn't have any weight goals from the beginning just what ever I lose is what I lose. I only weigh myself every 2 weeks because I'm not really concerned about the numbers. Well I have a wedding coming up in September that alot of family will be here for and My best friends birthday in August. I would like to be in a size 18 by both events. I started out wearing a 26/28 (3x) now I'm wearing 22/24 (2x). So it think I can make it happen.

 

I got clearance from my surgeon to start working out with no restrictions so it's full steam ahead.

    Congratulations! I had a similar attitude about my goal weight in the beginning...I just had no idea. Great job on the scale thing, I'm always amazed with that kind of willpower. With your great attitude, you're going to continue to rock that sleeve...good job!!!
