I dont think I have ever been so happy to do math in my life until I became acquainted with WLS. I lost 17 pounds in my first three weeks. I was estatic.. four weeks later I was still only at a 17 pound weight loss. I was freaking.
I had read all about the dreaded three week stall, but I figured I would be one of the people it would be nice to.. why? because I'm delusional.
Two weeks ago today it finally broke and was down another 13 lbs.
13+17= 30! Huzzah!
Tomorrow marks the two month date from my surgery. Thirty Pounds in Two months is something I am definitely happy with. I was a little discouraged at first because I am the only one I know personally who has had the sleeve. Everyone I know for the most part has had bypass and they were surprised to see how "slow" it was coming off of me, but then again everyone is different, and I understood that. Still, I just want it all to be gone yesterday. Patience is something that the good Lord forgot bestow upon me.
I think my hair might be starting to fall out, I cant tell if its the normal amount of hair and im just being paranoid(i have naturally thick curly hair so it falls out a lot anyway)
My boobs are practically gone. I swear I have had to have gone down two cup sizes.. And wasnt one of the lucky plus sized women who have plus sized boobies. So sad. I think Ive lost some back fat too because pre op I was always hooked on the last hook and now Im on the tightest one and that is still pretty loose.
I think I'm going to have to go shopping, but I dont want to.
My shirts are all the same sizes, just looser. For the first time in as long as I can remember I havent had to do some crazy stretches to make sure my shirts didn't hug me in all the wrong places. But I would still say I am in the same size there.
My PANTS however, have been pretty baggy. Like so baggy in the butt I kind of look like I have a poopy diaper. Also, I had to run up the stairs so I could clock in at work ontime and my pants almost fell the whole way down. luckily I had a size smaller I could wear, but now they are starting to look loose on me too.
Again, I think I am going to have to go shopping, but I dont want to. We shall see.
My goal for the next month:
I am going to try and work out more than I have been. Ive been bad about it. I'm not being too hard on myself, because I am taking all these changes one step at a time, but I need to lay down the law and get sweaty.
I read somewhere it takes 19 days to form a habit.. I'm wondering if 19 days is enough to break a habit of years of not being fergalicious and working on my fitness..
Here's to me, and Here's to you.
I wont update before the new year, so wish anyone who read this a Merry Christmas and a Skinny New Year!
