13 Weeks Post Op

Well I passed the 3 months mark now losing another pound this week. Not a big loss this week but still a loss. Some times it surprises me that I continue to lose from week to week to week. I have never experience continual weight loss like this. It's great to be putting on clothes that I haven't worn in several years. A big exciting thing too is pretty soon I will be in sizes that I can shop at Walmart for clothes. Yeah I know it's Walmart but hey it's not shopping at the Big & Tall store. For the last 10 plus year that's the ONLY place I have been able to shop and so if I can buy clothes at a normal store that will be a huge change for me. I think I am only about 10 to 20 lbs away from being able to accomplish that NSV Milestone.

I have got to say I directly see the difference between the weeks I work really hard at exercising and the weight loss. I wasn't as stringent this last week and it has shown with only a 1 pound weight loss. So I have got to kick myself in the butt again and get back on track. It's often times hard when other things around you aren't going as well but that can't be used as an excuse for changing your life in a way that will make you live longer and healthier with your family.

Today I am heading out to do some photography and I know I will be able to walk around without getting wore out easily. Just months ago that would have really taken it's toll on me but now I see it in that I can actually enjoy being outside without sweating up a storm and getting short winded.

Well onto another week and continued weight loss.

Current Weight - 390 lbs

Loss Since Surgery - 52 lbs (13 weeks)

Total Weight Loss - 95 lbs (1yr 1mo)

Florida Pete....

CONGRATS....That is awesome, you are doing amazing! I was banded in December as well. Slightly over 2 months now. I've only lost 20 pounds. I hope with my 3rd fill I'll feel much more restriction. I was going to the gym at least 3 days a week, but this week was crazy hectic and didn't get a chance to go. Next week is the same thing. I'm hoping to get back into my workout routine soon and start to see more results. Can't complain about 20 pounds though.
