-28 lbs!

I've gone from 306 to 278.8 thus far! Two more pounds and I will be back to my starting weight. And by starting, I mean that, as soon as I was approved for surgery, I packed on 30 lbs eating all kinds of fast food and other junk that I didn't think I'd ever be able to eat again. Oy! Do NOT do that. Self-sabotaging is no fun.

 

I'm healing beautifully, too. Knock on wood. We were really concerned about my high risk of infection, but nightly baths in Hibiclens has really helped keep everything nice and pink, not red. The dermabond has started peeling like mad. I only have about 2 of the original 8 strips left over the port incision site. But daaang, my belly itches like I've got poison ivy or something! I'm trying SO HARD not to scratch. Ughh.

Yikes 30lbs? I did the exact same thing though. When I went to mcdonalds I was in the mindset "Oh it might be the last time I eat this, might as well have the double quarter pounded with extra cheese" Yeah not so good lol. I think I gained like 15lbs though, which isn't that bad I guess but considering we're having wls it probably wans't a good idea lol. =(
