In the "100" club again! 105 days Post Op Update



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it, but then again, I can! All this hard work and discipline is paying off.

My first milestone was to fit into Victoria's Secret Bra sizes again (the sizes you can actually buy IN store and not online...jerks lol). CHECK!

My second was to get under 200 lbs before my vacation to Ireland. We're leaving on Thursday and wouldn't you know it...199 on the dot! CHECK!

I started my journey at 299 my first surgeon visit, 284 my last appointment before surgery, then 264 day of surgery (after 2 week liquid diet) and now currently 199.

I haven't been under 200 lbs in over 10 years. I feel like my mind has to play catch up with my body, I'm losing and everyone sees it, but I don't see it as much. Nothing I can't talk with my therapist about.

Skin is sagging, but not too ad. My arms are totally fine, it's mostly my thighs, tummy and breasts that are looking a tad droopy these days, but it's all good.

I've been losing more hair lately, don't know if it will get worse before it gets better....I guess time will tell.

In any case, I'm thrilled about my vacation and I'm thrilled to be under 200 lbs!

I hope everyone else is doing fantastically and feeling happy and healthy ❤️

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
