3.5 Months Out and Feeling Fab!!

I am now 3.5 Months Out and I feel fabulous! I am trying to push myself to go to the gym, even if only 2 -3 nights a week. I need to go.I am about 185/186 right now and the picture I'm sharing is a size 8 dress that wasn't snug!

No buyers remorse, everything is great! No saggy skin :)

189.9!!!

13 Weeks Post Op and I am down to 189.9 with a bra, shirt and glasses on :) I was too lazy to take them off and really dont care lol! I'm in the 180's!!!

I met with my surgeon for my 3 month post op visit and she said I'm doing great and am looking at 150-160. That's fine with me, its coming off steadily now.

I get asked if I have issues with loose skin, nope, my arms are a little loose but not anymore loose or big than when I was 320 lbs, they look great if I say so myself. My thighs are still ginormis lol!

I plateau every few weeks and I can tell when I'm going to break it because things start making me feel "stuck", like you have heartburn or need to burp. My stomach can't eat that much at once. Some days I can eat the 3/4 cup I'm allowed at one time and some times I can eat one meatball, it just depends, when I break the plateau, I eat very little and then I'm back to eating fine and losing fine.

My weakness so far has been iced non fat lattes with caffine, as long as it's in moderation I'm fine. Sugar Free chocolate, sugar free ice cream and crackers. I don't have to have it, but I treat myself to it.

I asked my surgeon about excersize, I admitted, I've been to the gym very far and few between. She said the lighter I get the more I'll want to go and that at this point she doesn't see a problem with my weight loss to add in exercsize (more than the walking I'm doing) except to tone up.

We went to Disneyland, Six Flags, the beach and all that lately and Im loving this change. I fit in the rides without any problem, with room like I feel like I'm going to fall out, Pat can sweep me off my feet and throw me around, I fit in chairs without my butt hanging over. It's amazing what a difference it makes. So August makes my 1 year from Orientation and that means I am down (from 265 to 189.9) Wow, I could have never done it without surgery.

I am in a Large Target or Old Navy Top, XL Juniors dress from WALMART - which we all know runs small!, 12 jeans and almost to my 10 slacks.

When I look at pictures I can see the change, it's amazing how much my face has changed and my body. My calves aren't incredible huge like I thought they'd be after losing weight.

My biggest issue now after WLS, charlie horses! But I can survive those lol! And spending too much money on clothes because nothing fits long enough, but I can survive that too - just gotta do more parties!
