6 week check-up
I have to see the nurses at my Weight Loss Clinic every 6 weeks while I am losing weight. They measuure me, weigh me, and answer any questions I have. I will not have my 6 month anniversary until the end of the month, then I will see the surgeon. I weighed in at 164. I had lost 16 lbs. in the past 6 weeks. I lost .5" in my neck, 1.5" in my chest, 4.5" in my hips, and .5 in my calf, my arms, waist and thighs stayed the same (I had a big loss in my waist last time). She ordered blood work, that I will have done before I see the surgeon. She is very happy with my exercise. I went right from there to the gym so my hair and make-up were done (usually I wear a bandana when I workout). The gym's trainer walked past me once and then came back by later and said he didn't even recognize me. He said I am really looking different. I told him it's probably the hair and he said he could really tell a difference in my face. I went shopping the day before yesterday and bought size 14s. I tried on 12s and they zipped and buttoned, but they didn't hide the stomach, so I went with 14s. I started in a size 22. It's fun to put them back on every once in a while. Anyway, I've lost 87 lbs. Am feeling excellent! Want to lose 34 more.
