Well it has been a couple of months and I did some measurements today. Chest - 41 (-2) Waist - 37 (-3) Abdomen - 49 (3.5) hips - 49 (-4) left thigh - 27 (-2.5) left calf - 15.5 (-1) Total of 16 inches lost. I REALLY need to start lifting some weights because I am flaaaaaaabby!!

Damn anesthesia! lol

Same thing with Dr. Aceves. His are on the website.

I got home and the next day I got hit like a steam train with my period. PIssed me off. lol It wasn't even due until two weeks later. I was actually hoping that the stress from the surgery would make me not have a cycle or two but NOPE.

Frustrated right now. Just type out a long and nice first blog entry to only have the website not save it and come back up with a blank screen. VERY frustating. Anhow, today is day 6 post-op. I am feeling pretty good. Since I wrote so much earlier I will just write the basics now because I don't want to type all of that out again. Took my measurements on 5-15-12 and here they are. chest - 43 left arm - waist - 40 abdomen - 52.5 hips - 53 left thight - 29.5 left calf - 16.25 Pretty pear shaped. lol Here are some short term goals that I have set: June 10, 2012 (30 days post op) - goal= 210, reward=pedicure at Peppermill and one glass if wine. mid- July (Dane's Vegas birthday trip) - goal= 195; reward= something cute that I may find in Vegas. Labor Day weekend - gooal=175; reward = overnight trip to Roseville for shopping at the Galleria. LUSH!! Cabo San Lucas (October 28, 2012) goal=155; reward= one or two sexy summer dresses to wear while down there. I am also hoping to fit into those two cute bathing suits that I bought in January 2010 that STILL have the tags on them. 40th birthday (February 14, 2013). goal = 135-140. Reward = hmmm not sure. TBA. Feeling pretty good today. Not as emotional as the past few days. After thinking a lot (which I have a lot of time to do now) I realize how important food was in my life. Never realized how much I actually thought about it and used it fr boredom, stress. and depression.

Before this week if anyone had aske me if I thought my my life revolve around food I would have said no. But after a lot of self reflection these past couple of days I have realized that I AM a food addict and a total foodie. All I have been thinking about this week is sushi and wine and food. I can't wait until I can start doing some major exercise so I can change my focus. I want to go back to spinning class at the Golds Gym. Those classes are amazing and a huge adrenaline rush.

Good luck ladynana. You will do great.

That is amazing! Congratulations to you. Great job on the time increase.

WAnt2bhealthy - 38 pounds is great. It isn't as fast as some people lose but I would be thrilled about losing 38 lbs. Keep at it.
