    TWO!

    By TheCurvyJones,

    So my normal Friday Night Ritual used to be to get off work, drive straight to my fave chicken wing place and get 15 well seasoned, plain fried wings. I don't do sauce, only ranch dip. I also get 2 ginger ale's, take it home and catch up on the DVR. Such a nice relaxing Friday night, prepping for the weekend that is usually full of hair appointments, grocery shopping, what have you.
    So I hadn't had a normal Friday night in about two months because of the pre surgery diet and then the near month since surgery. This week I told myself that if I lost more than two lbs at my weigh in that I'd go get myself some wings. So yesterday I did just that.
    I got 10 wings instead of 15, because let's not be ridiculous. I knew full well I'd not be able to eat 10 wings in one sitting but this way I could have some leftovers.
    Normally I can get in at least 8 before I start to feel full.
    Last night? Two wings. TWO! I could shove in a third one if my life depended on it but TWO WINGS AND I WAS FULL OMG.
    I just had some for lunch. TWO.
    I'm still in the shock and awe stage of how little I can eat. TWO WINGS!

    Fantastic week. Long but busy and active. I feel GREAT since my surgery... really. Last night I actually almost ran up my steps. It usually takes me a minute to get up or down the stairs. My knees already don't hurt and that's worth the cost of surgery right there.
     
    My numbers:
    Highest weight- 273 in March 2012
    Day of surgery weight 250
    Week 1 weigh in: 241.4
    Loss: 8.6 lbs
     
    I am THRILLED with that number! I will be in the 230's next week! WOOOOT!
     
    NSV's: I like the way my doc did my insicions, to where they're not in my bra line at all. Most are at or below my waist, one at my breast bone so I've been wearing my regular Lane Bryant underwire bras. I couldn't hang with the sports bras. The UniBoob just wasn't happening. Anyway, I feel like my band might be a bit loose and the bra is pulled as tightly as possible. It'd be nice to get rid of these G cup mamas.
     
    My size 22 jeans need to be retired. Already. I felt like they might actually fall down the other day. My size 20's, which I haven't been able to wear for a while, fit just fine. Not tight, not cutting off circulation, they zip right up.
     
    Like I said earlier, steps are no issue right now. I still get a backache from shopping, etc so can't wait until that goes away.
     
    Overall I am THRILLED.

    Week 5 Update
     
    HW: 273
    SW: 250
    LW: 232.8
    CW: 233.8 (+1)
     
    Up one this week due to f**k ass trick ass mark ass Moms Nature. She should be showing up sometime this next week, taking this pound and some others with her so yes.
     
    NSV’s— all my buttons button. HUZZAH! I am getting lots of compliments at work because the loss is obvious now. They say they see it in my face and my thinning profile. Yay, that’s nice to hear.
     
    I’ve walked 7 of the 10 mile goal I set on the 15th. I plan to overshoot that so I should be close to 20 miles in January. FUN! I think I am going to push myself to walk two miles a day… the ONE mile thing doesn't even get me breathing hard unless I kind of jog it.

    Weigh in day! WOOT! 
    HW: 273
    SW: 250
    LW: 237.2
    CW: 233.6!!!! Woot! 
    A 3.6lb drop this week bringing my post surgery loss to 16.4lbs and my total loss to  39.4lbs. 
    This week’s loss comes at a great time because I was a little mopey thinking I might not hit 20 lbs my first month.. NOT because I am trying to hit a magical number but because if this is the ‘best loss’ I’ll have before it starts to slow down, imagine what life will be like the further I get out. I spent  $12K when I add up travel and all that good stuff having VSG surgery. It has to work and be worth it. This week showed me that everything is fine so I can just calm my impatient ass down.

    SIX WEEKS ALREADY!
     
    HW: 273
    SW: 250
    LW- 233.6
    CW: 232.6
     
    About 40lbs down from my highest weight, about 18lbs down since day of surgery. Hoping I get somewhere near 230 by my 8 week update....
     
    Not gonna talk about how annoyed I am by how slow this is going.
     
     
    Non Scale Victories- As you all know I hit my goal of 20 miles of walking in January. I am going to leave the goal the same for February and add a few days of Turbo Fire, the Fire 30 work out. It’s pretty fun and burns a lot of calories. I have also been getting LOTS of comments on my apparent weight loss, so that feels good.
     
    I was thinking about going to pick up a couple of pairs of pants this weekend but……….I think I have talked myself out of it. I don’t know, I just feel like if I went, I would be disappointed and I just can’t really take that right now. My mom suggested I go TO the store and try them on and I said, why so I can have a proper breakdown in public in the changing room? NAWL.
     
    So we’ll see. I might and I might not, depending on how small I feel when I get up and get going tomorrow.

    This situation is so funny to me *and maybe ONLY to me* but my mother was an RNY patient many moons ago back in 2001. She has gone from the high 260's to as low as 119. She's now leveled out at about 150 lbs and is really happy with her body.
     
    She is 5'4" and has a medium frame. I am 5'3" with a smaller frame but I have more... assets Bigger breasts, hippier hips, more booty. Our shape is virtually the same though. I was looking at her this week (they came to visit for Christmas) and ....if her shape is any indication of what I might look like at goal, Ima'll be "thicker than a Snicker!"
     
    She has a great natural shape. Now I am excited to see how much I will look like that when I get down there. If I even get close I will be happy.
     
    Now, it took a long time for her to get to her current weight. She lost very slowly and she doesn't have much loose skin. *sign of the cross that I won't be too different from her*

    Yeah 4 days.

    By TheCurvyJones,

    My nerves are shot. I go from WAY excited to OH MY GOD I AM NOT GOING TO WAKE UP FROM SURGERY OR HE'S GOING TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG IN THERE OR I AM GOING TO FEEL EVERYTHING HOLY CRAP.
     
    And then bestie takes a shot of Rum and sends a virtual slap through the computer.
