So week 2 of C25K is done and tomorrow I start week 3. And I have lost another pound. That brings my post op weight loss to 32 lbs (in 10 weeks) and overall weight loss to 52. I am so good with my results. They are right for me and my journey. Don't stress that it is lower than some people because I am losing and I feel successful. I absolutely love this site. Maybe a little too much. LOL.
I really like all the good information. I like the comradery that comes with being in this boat that not everyone understands. It is great being able to share with others in this journey. I have great support in real life but I sometimes wonder if the friends/family who know secretly get sick of me talking about it. I don't talk about it 24-7 but you know when it is something that is not your thing and someone keeps talking about it it can get annoying. So knowing I can come here and chat with others who won't get annoyed is comforting.
I tried on my old jeans that I was wearing before surgery. I know that I am a lot smaller but putting those on put things in perspective just how much I had lost. I really giggled about the legs of them as I carry a lot of my weight in my butt and legs. My daughter started laughing saying they looked like grandma jeans on me. The crotch hung way down since I no longer filled them out. It was really a mood booster to see how far I have come.
I was so blessed to have a pretty easy surgery and recovery. I feel bad when I see that some people on here have a lot of complications. We all know that they happen and the degrees of complications vary. It is major surgery. But I wish everyone who went through this could be complication free. Because I know how life changing this is.
Hope everyone is having a great new year so far!
