I had my surgery on May 9th. It's 12 weeks today! Time flies!

Here is the official report:

HW: 265 (4 wks before Surgery)

SW: 239

CW: 209

Dress size: 22w to 14/16

My post surgery wt. loss is not as fast as some. But I am very happy! It is headed in the right direction! And the total wt. loss in last 4 months is close to 60 lbs! No complains from me!

NSVs:

• Started wt. training and loving it!
• Started Couch to 5k. On wk. 2. Day 2
• At lowest wt. in almost 16 years

Compliments/comments that made me feel great:

Hey girl! You are shrinking!

Looks like someone is bringing the sexy back here!

food goals:

• Kept below 800 cals a day on non-exercise day
• Upto 1000 on exercise days
• Carbs no more than 70 gms on exercise & 40-50 on no exercise days
• Protein intake: 80-110 per day
• Here is the biggest one: I HAVE LOGGED MY FOOD IN MFP FOT 80 DAYS IN A ROW!

hair loss: There is some so far only when I shower. I use Organic coconut oil couple of times a week. I massage it in gently and wash my hair in the morning. Hoping for the best. I will take the temporary hair loss to have a chance at permanent weight loss!

Other: No weakness, no surgery pains/complications.

Hoping for continued downwards journey and support from this wonderful community!

What is couch to 5k, are you training for a 5K run (or walk)? I think your doing amazing!

What kind of protien shakes are you using?

It's a 5k run training program. I downloaded a free app for it on my iPhone. It's the best way to do interval training of walks mixed in with runs, 8 weeks long. At the end of that, I will be able to run a 5k. Let's see!

You are doing great!!! I have my first visit on Tuesday with the bariactrix center in longhorne pa. i am so excited!!!!
