Fantastic week. Long but busy and active. I feel GREAT since my surgery... really. Last night I actually almost ran up my steps. It usually takes me a minute to get up or down the stairs. My knees already don't hurt and that's worth the cost of surgery right there.

My numbers:

Highest weight- 273 in March 2012

Day of surgery weight 250

Week 1 weigh in: 241.4

Loss: 8.6 lbs

I am THRILLED with that number! I will be in the 230's next week! WOOOOT!

NSV's: I like the way my doc did my insicions, to where they're not in my bra line at all. Most are at or below my waist, one at my breast bone so I've been wearing my regular Lane Bryant underwire bras. I couldn't hang with the sports bras. The UniBoob just wasn't happening. Anyway, I feel like my band might be a bit loose and the bra is pulled as tightly as possible. It'd be nice to get rid of these G cup mamas.

My size 22 jeans need to be retired. Already. I felt like they might actually fall down the other day. My size 20's, which I haven't been able to wear for a while, fit just fine. Not tight, not cutting off circulation, they zip right up.

Like I said earlier, steps are no issue right now. I still get a backache from shopping, etc so can't wait until that goes away.

Overall I am THRILLED.
