I just took my one month post-op pics, a few days late, but going back to work this week has made me pretty tired. I can see subtle differences when I compare my pre-op photos to the ones I took today. I look less like I'm about to pop at any second. :-) Unfortunately I don't know how much weight I've lost now. The new scale I bought is not working and I haven't returned it and bought a new one yet. I hope to soon though.
I am definitely enjoying my non-scale victories. Such as having clothes fit, and or be lose, that were skin tight before surgery. I also enjoyed being able to sit in the chairs in the cafeteria at work and actually not feel wedged in like I had to lay back to fit. I could reach across the table with ease to grab the salt & pepper! My rings are fitting again too. Yay! And the best part...the compliments, even from people that have no idea what I did. It makes me feel really good!
I'm looking forward to all the changes to come!
You look great! i live in Frisco too! lol I plan on getting the sleeve soon at Baylor. Can't wait to follow your journey!

I'm gonna be looking forward now to seeing you at the next get together so I can see the daily progress:o) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey! I found you through your BFF's site, where I've been watching her shrink recently. You seem to be doing great, and I think you'll find that blogging is such a wonderful outlet as you get healthier :) Though I haven't had surgery, my BFF did (lap band) and she has a blog too. It's blubberyblogger.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI look forward to keeping up with your journey!

ReplyDeleteHi Kristi....I read your whole blog yesterday and became a follower but then I got called away before I had a chance to comment. As I read your blog, I kept thinking to myself, "Hey, I like this lady. She's a neat person!"
