My Wii got confused and recorded my weight while I was calibrating it...I'm at my lowest weight since birth!!! LOL

My profile refuses to let me add photos to my blog OR upload them to my pics...so here's the link....

Well....apparently I have slightly neglected to post....

I am now just shy of 7 months out and as of this morning my weight is 299.5, for a total loss of 124.5. It is also the first time since my teen years that I have weighed under 300 pounds....oh yes, I stood on the scale and cried for a second.

In other news, Chris and I got married on Nov 1! There are pics in my photos and I have some more that I will be posting shortly.

I also have my official 6 month photos and measurements hanging around to be posted too, so I will try to get those up soon too. =)

I have more, we'll talk later!

Well, it has been a little over 2 months since my gastric bypass, so here is a little update on how I am doing!

I have lost 48 pounds since surgery, however, this number may change as I have not been back to the surgeon yet, and his scale tends to be a little different.

I have lost 8 inches off my waist, and adding up all 15 of the measurements that I take gives me 66.5 inches lost over my body.

I bought a pair of pants last weekend, two/three sizes smaller than what I was wearing, and they are actually too big, I think I should have bought the next size down. =( and =) LOL

I posted my two month pics in my photos!

It has officially been one month since my surgery (2 days ago, actually), I have lost approximately 31 pounds (my scale at home is wonky so I am not sure exactly what I weigh now) in one month, and I have lost 7 inches off my waist! Totaling all 15 of the measurements that I take gives me 43" lost in my first month.

I uploaded my one month pics into my Before and After album, so you can see the pre-op and the one month side by side. I don't see a difference, but everyone who has seen me IRL in the last week says they can see it.

I am wearing different clothes in this months pics, this "outfit" is going to be my official pic outfit until it's too big.

Yay!

Sorry! Just realized I never posted when I got home!

Well, I am 3.5 weeks out now. As of my post-op appt a week ago I had lost 28 pounds since my surgery date. I was surpirsed, I didn't think it would be that much!

I am taking a pic every week (just the front) at the request of my mom, and I will post those here. I am also going to take all my measurements and a photo from all four sides once a month.

I noticed last night that I can see a difference now between the photos from my first week and last night. It's true what they say about taking pics, if I hadn't taken them, I would not notice it at all.

Although, my clothes are all too big already! I have a job interview today and I have no idea what I am going to wear, I look like a ragamuffin in everything, it's hanging off me!

OK....more later!

*hugs*

I posted my "official" before pics, and I took all my measurements, I am ready to go!

My pre-op measurements...I am taking a lot because I find it interesting all the small ways that our bodies change that we tend not to notice!

Neck: 17.5"
Chest (over boobs): 63"
Chest (under boobs): 58"
Midriff: 64"
Waist: 67"
Right bicep: 20"
Left bicep: 19"
Right forearm: 13"
Left forearm: 13"
Right thigh: 36"
Left thigh: 36"
Right calf: 23"
Left calf: 23"
Right ankle: 12"
Left ankle: 11.5"

I report to the hospital tomorrow morning at 6:30AM and surgery is scheduled for 8:30AM. I will post here when I get home!

Thanks for all the love and support, I can't wait to be a loser!

It's finally caught up to me, I'm starting to get scared. I have done all my homework, I have a great surgeon, I have a great support system, and I am scared anyway. I have moments where out of nowhere tears stream down my face and I literally shake in my shoes. I have moments of telling myself that this is madness and I should cancel my surgery date. I have moments of being sure that I will be the one in a million who has some off the wall complication and my life will be ruined. It is ridiculous, but that doesn't make it any less true. It's funny what our brains do to us sometimes.

I got my date! May 7! OMG OMG!!!!!

My one on one consultation with Dr Pehrsson is on Feb 7!!!

I got my approval for my surgeon consult yesterday! Called the surgeons office today, I have to attend a seminar before I can schedule an appointment. Lucky me, the seminar for this month is tomorrow night!!! So, after the talk tomorrow night I will have my appointment date for my one on one consultation!!!

YAY!!!

The end of the road is FINALLY coming into view!!
