Thirty, Flirty and Thriving

Rate this Entry
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!

    Congrats on the weight loss! Your post proves that while the scale might show no loss, the inches are definitely decreasing.

    I am almost 3 weeks out and have been stalled for a week. So frustrating, but your post gives me hope.

    Good luck, Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you too.

    I got a few pairs of pants at the thrift shop. I have done this a few times now. It is inexpensive and nice to have clothes that fit. Congratulations on your success.

    I had the same problem with pants!! luckily I have a great bunch of friends and a goodwill!! my up top area feels and looks like I need to go up a cup size!! I've never heard of anyone not loosing boobies first, but mine haven't lost at all. I will be 11 weeks post-op tomorrow and i'm down 70lbs!! it's still shocking to me to see that number! i'm with you in the working out department too. I just have to do it!! good luck to you girlie!!

    I agree on goodwill or thrift stores for the pants. It feels good to wear pants that fit. And no sense spending big money on something you will wear for 6 - 10 weeks. The tops I think you can go longer without it being as noticible. I am concerned about how expensive the bra adjustments are going to get. I am 31 days out and I am down a band size in the bra - (no change to the cup size yet alas). Fortunately I had one bra that was one size too small. Since I wear a K cup, I have to buy them on the internet and they are at least $40 a piece. Going without is obviously not an option.
