1/18/06 2 weeks out
Jan 17, 2007
I am officially 2 weeks out. Saw the dietician yesterday. Down 24 pounds since my preop visit on 12/26/06. I was at 364, unfortunately on the 22nd of December I was 361 but that's what Christmas will do to you, but lucky for me the surgeon didn't write it down. My official starting weight for them is 361, minus the 24, makes me 337. Not too bad of a ride so far. I actually went out and spent my new computer savings on a treadmill yesterday also, which I am really excited to get, but not for another week.
The cravings are starting to go away. I still think about all the crap I used to eat and want it in my head but my stomach says no way. What gets me through a tough day is that this isn't forever. The bypass is but not the restrictions of the types of protein I can eat right now. I know that in a few months when it's warm out I'll eat that hamburger off the grill (sans bun) with the topping I want.
Eating about an ounce to an ounce and half at a time. I really wanna milk this stage for all it's worth. I really don't want to try and progress to stage 3. Like my dietician said yesterday "this is the only time you'll be able to drop weight like this so enjoy it while it here".
So my stats so far since I restared my journey on July 10th:
Starting weight - 455 July 10th (start of WW)
Pre op weight - 361 total loss on WW 94 pounds
Two week post op weight - 337
Loss from surgery - 24
Total loss since July 10th - 118 pounds
Loss till goal - 117 pounds
One shirt size down (4XL to a 3XL)
Pants size down from a 54 waist to a 46 waist
