Things have changed fairly rapidly over the last month since I had surgery on November 20th and wanted to share my progress. I know that I still have a VERY LONG way to go, but I have been shocked at how much things have changed in such a short period of time. I know some info might be TMI, but I just wanted to share with those that might be interested. So, here is my 1 Month Post-Op Progress Report.

Weight Lost: 36.2 pounds

Inches Lost: 27.5 inches

Pant Size: 58 down to 50 waist

Shirt Size: 4XL down to 2XL-3XL (depending on the shirt)

Short/Boxer Size: 4XL down to 2XL

Distance able to walk: Was at 50 yards and now up to 3.0 miles

Time able to walk: Was at 2 minutes (to mailbox and back) and now up to 60 minutes

Back Pain: Pain was excruciating and now almost non-existent

Knee Pain: Pain was excruciating and now it's mild

I am doing great!!!!!!! Have felt great most of the time. I have issues getting all my water in. Got dehydrated one weekend I think. Have lost 33 pounds and rolling right along! Thanks for asking!

Great job!!! Well done my friend!!

I have trouble getting my water in as well on top of my Vitamins.

We both need to work on water! I have downloaded an app. Maybe that will help.

I agree wholeheartedly!!

I'm coming up on my 2-month post-op. Anyone want me to post my results?

I do-I do. Please tell us how you did. I bet the second month was just as good if not better than the first month.

I've actually had a slow month 2 in weight loss, but really picked up our exercise.

50 pounds down in 2 months and 14 in month 2 is great! I only hope and pray I do as well. Picking up the exercise this 2nd month is wonderful as well Keep going strong and you will be doing that hike before you know it.
