50 Lbs Down... A Million To Go!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited, I finally hit my first self goal... is was 4 days short, but I'm actually really good with that! Having so much to lose to begin with, 50 lbs actually hasn't changed much clothing wise (bummer my pants still fit the same even though people swear thats where I've lost it all)... For the most part I'm still wearing the same size... We did family pictures yesterday, I did go out and purchase a new top for that and it was a 26/28 instead of the 30/32 I've been purchasing for the past 5 plus years. Speaking of NSV I also noticed the other day I got into the passanger's seat of my car and buckled up... I told my husband/ driver that the seat belt was in a weird place, he pointed out that I didn't have the seat belt extender on... (what it actually buckled??) So this week has been full of Victories... I can't complain 4 weeks out!

Although the constant pointing out where people think I have lost the weight has become some what annoying! No two answers are the same.. "I see it in your face", "I see it in your belly", "you've totally lost it in your arms" and so on... I'm trying to take it as a compliment, I must be losing it evenly.... one thing is for sure, I've had to tighten the laces on my shoes!

Congratulations!!! You are doing fantastic. All those NSV. WOW. With pants, those are weird. It takes a while for them to catch up. But when they do, it's all at once. I went from a 22 to an 18 in what seems like a day. It was at around 50 pound out as well. Now a 14 is a little tight but 16's are a little big. It will come. Keep up the great work.

50 pounds is great, and I bet if feels really good even if your pants don't sag yet. :D

If you used to Celebrate victories with food, make sure you Celebrate with some other tangible token. (I started collecting unusual hearts) and lately, I've begun to celebrate with pics to mark new goals because I'm so much happier with how I look. I call it my "Loser Wall." ;)

Congratulations!

CE

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
