Five weeks and one day down....

...and I've decided that there is too much drama on OH, so I'm gonna have to bail from that forum for a while. Why all the venom when folks are just looking for a place to garner support for a healthier life? Crazy! Anyway......I'm down 38.5 pounds since December 1, including my 16 pounds from preop. I think I'll stop dividing the two weigh losses and just claim it all! I have my six week followup next week, and I just realized it is at the same time as I will generally have major PMS and weight gain...delightful! Things are going well, and I'm averaging about 650-800 calories daily, 25-45 carbs, and 65-100 grams of protein. I feel good about tracking and making healthy food choices. And, I'm getting in a two mile walk and a little on the elliptical each day. I hope to add some light weights next week to help with the flabby arms!

 

I'm a little annoyed with my clothing right now. As always, I'm losing all upstairs, so seven people could live in the top half of my shirts, but the bottoms are still fitting. I have a closet of either too big and sloppy or still too snug around the ol' hips and booty. Sigh.....

CONGRATULATIONS! I decided to count my pre-op and post-op weight loss all together and it just made it easier to give people in real life number updates (somedays I wish I had a ticker across my chest just so I wouldn't have to repeat my numbers;-).

Great job on your exercise, I think adding that in and making it routine has really helped me along my journey.

I understand about the clothing, it did get rather aggravating, but the best part was when I finally fit into the snug size I was able to get rid of my bigger clothes FOR GOOD! I'm still holding onto a couple of 14's and all of my 12's because I just can't convince myself that this is real. I wish you luck on continued success!!!

twobluecats: i am the same way. everybody is moving out upstairs but not downstairs. my husband had the rny about 3 weeks after my sleeve and he is down 3 pants sizes and hardly has bugded upstairs. i just would like for it all to come off at the same time but i guess i didn't put it on in one day so i can't expect it to come off in one day!!!!
