So excited! :)

I will be 6 weeks post op tomorrow. Per my doctors orders I am weighing myself every morning until my next check up on Dec 30.

Well today the scale said 274.7 and that is 40.1 lbs lost since 10/21 (surgery was 10/27 only did one week pre op diet)!!!

I am just so happy with my progress. My doc told me to be doing two shakes and one small meal a day with no snacking. This is what I have been doing and it has working so well. I have really had no problem doing this, and also getting in all my Water and exercise. My doc has a goal of 260 for me to hit for my Dec 30 appointment and I am so hoping I can make it.

I just had to share my excitement and a NSV I had last night, My 15yr old daughter and me were shopping and we went into a store I had never shopped in before.(Torrid) I had gone in and looked around but never found anything that would really fit, Well my daughter had me trying on jeans. YIKES, my least favorite thing to wear (next to a bathing suit LOL). I live in AZ so I am lucky weather wise that I could get away with wearing capris year round. But I did have to have a pair or two just in case the weather drops into the 50's. The pairs I had were 26W and super tight. Last night I walked out with a pair of jean jeggings and boot cut pair in size 22w!!

I am just going to keep on doing what I am doing and keep enjoying this journey!!!!

  • That is awesome to hear:) I am not scheduled for surgery until Jan 8th but it is success stories like yours that keep me positive and motivated. Best of luck with the rest of your journey.

  • Great Job! I have been doing the two shakes and 1 small meal a day everyday with no snacking. It produces good results and isn't very hard to maintain. I'll probably change it up once I get further

  • Congrats! That is amazing progress! Keep it up!
