Excellent Day - 3 Weeks Postop, Nsv And Sv!

[JayhawkJess33 25]

I feel amazing today! I am 3 weeks postop today and am down 35 lbs. from my highest weight (287), 21 since surgery day (273). I had a stall of sorts for almost a week but the scale is moving again now (252). My incisions are completely healed and really feel like I never had surgery, except for the lack of hunger and the tiny amounts I can eat I am still on purees for another week and am doing great - everything has really gone down quite well, I just get full really fast. I am getting in liquids just fine and still struggling to get enough calories and Protein, but working on it every day. I've been hitting the gym since last week and doing just cardio for now - elliptical and treadmill. I am still able to wear most of the same clothes I started in (mostly size 20) but they are getting really baggy and feel way different and TODAY I put on a top (size 14/16!!) I bought quite a while back to "shrink into" and it fits! It is just a stretchy knit top and isn't super loose but with my Shapewear (ha!) I feel comfortable and confident in it and that hasn't happened to me for AGES! I am by no means in a 14/16 in pants (I think I am solidly in an 18 now) but I will take what I can get, considering I am only a fraction of the way to my goal weight

I think this is just one of many wonderful days to come and I just cannot say how happy I am that I took this huge step for myself and my family - I would recommend the sleeve to anyone contemplating WLS!

Congratulations Jess! Welcome to the losers bench! I'm glad to hear things are going so well for you - I was going to offer you some of my "bigger" clothes since you're shrinking out of yours, but it looks like we're about the same size so hmph! LOL!

Awesome job! We have similar stats.. I am also 3 weeks out.. (surgery was 3/20) and I am down 36lbs (21 since surgery). I started my journey at 269! Feels so good to put on smaller clothes! Way to go!
