My 3 Month Surgiversary, Down 76# And Nsvs (Photo)

Hello everyone. I hit my 3 month surgiversary (5-14-12) this Monday. I was down 75# (including Pre-op) and as of this morning it is 76#. I am down from 335# to 259#. I am really excited that I have met several short term goals over the last few weeks.

1. I have made it to Twooterville

2. To weigh less than I did when I got married (275#) and as of this morning

3. To weigh less than my husband (260) Hoot! Hoot! My next short term is:

4. To weigh less than when I graduated high school (250#)

I am also enjoying some NSVs. I am still off of all my pre-op meds (21), the fibromyalgia is doing great (small 2 day flare this week, 1st one since surgery) and I don't use the cane anymore and we walk a lot. I have bones sticking out every where; collar, wrist, ankle, shoulder, ribs, pelvis. It's great! My husband can wrap his arms all the way around my body and I can him too. Loving my new clothes (18/20) including a KNEE length skirt, form fitting shirts and tops and some heels. I can also CROSS MY LEGS! I haven't wore heels or crossed my legs in years. My hubby likes, but hey, he's liking a lot of things lately. :D

I am really happy with the results I am seeing. I do still struggle on a daily basis though. Eating anything is still very difficult for me. I can hold about an ounce. I still get sick with every meal. My pre-op digestive issues did not improve as my doc had hoped. It can get very discouraging being so weak all of the time. I just keep holding out that my restriction will relax a little and let me get in some calories. Right now the weight loss is very exciting, but I do wonder if long term my body will ever be able to make it on such a tiny amount of sustenance. Anyhoo...

Have a wonderful day everyone and HAPPY LOSING!! Check back in with y'all next month :)

I know I'm going to catch it for this, but truthfully I don't exercise.I have been laid up for a couple of years now because of various health issues. Last month I had knee surgery and I am still recovering from that. I do an hour of physical therapy 3x a week for that, but anything else is just consequential; playing with the kids, cleaning, shopping, loafing etc. I do hope to be able to soon though. I have a Wii and love the dancing games. I just can't dance on this knee right now.
