I Can See My Bellybutton!



Recommended Posts

Ok, maybe not a big thrill to anyone but me, but I can now look down and actually SEE my bellybutton. I'm only down 17.6 pounds but it seems to all have come off the roll of fat above the bellybutton level.

TMI?

I am stoked. Doesn't take much to get me going, evidently.

Also off blood pressure medication (had been on since age 25). And now completely off both Lantus and Humalog insulins.

Why didn't I do this years ago?

As one of my hero dog people says, the past is the past. Live in the NOW.

Hubby has taken to calling me Zippy. Says when I turn sideways he can hardly see me. But I stick out my tongue, I look like a zipper. I'm sure that is from some obscure movie he saw, but still makes me laugh and keeps me motivated.

My Xmas present to myself arrived today and although I haven't figured out all the settings (does BMI, computes Water, muscle mass, fat, as well as weight), I did figure out how to change it from kg to lb.

Drumroll: 203.0!!!

I'm flying high. Only 5 more pounds, and I will be at my all-time low adult weight (198).

I told myself I wouldn't do it yet, but I still have the pair of jeans I bought back then as a treat to myself. I just may have to break them out of the back of my closet and try them on this weekend.

Now to figure out how to change my ticker thingie.

Per my 1 month follow-up with the surgeon, I'm down to 201. 27,6 down since surgery date! Yea!!!

Said I was a bit ahead of the 'norm' for weight loss, but my incisions are taking a lot longer than normal to heal. I have a skin condition so skin healing is always a long process for me. I have only the largest incision left to completely scar over. Its 4/5th healed, but one edge is still oozing a bit. No infection, but still inflamed and angry looking. Maybe another 2 weeks, crossing fingers.

My next appointment is now mid-February for my 3 month follow-up. Then 6 month, then a year. This is not over yet! HAHA!

71 to go! Seems like such a far goal, but I've done 27.6 so far.

My short-term goal is to be in the 100s. By my estimates, should not be much longer. I want to be able to see a 1 instead of a 2 at the start of the scale. Not too much to ask, eh?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
