3 month update!
Happy new year!
It's the week of my 3 month surgiversary. I can't believe how quickly that went! I am down just over 40 pds since surgery.The holidays were a *****allenging, I felt more head hunger that I previously have. But I did lose 10 pounds over the month of Dec, a freaking xmas miracle!
I am feeling really energetic lately and am noticing a lot of changes in my body shape. Here's a few stats on my measurements, compared to what size I was only 3 months ago:
8.5 inches lost off chest
7.5 inches lost off waist
8 inches lost off hips
almost 2 inches off my neck
Almost none of my clothes fit, so I am slowly buying new things. My pant size in September was 22 at Addition-Elle. It is now 14 at Reitmans in their dress pants.
It is weird watching all my co-workers in total January diet freak out mode.
This January I am enjoying treating my body well. Feeling proud & kind of amazed at the healthy things I am buying at the supermarket compared to years past, and actually wanting to move my body more.
I had a great time dancing my Ass off at a great New Years Party!
Thanks for all the tips and support.

Surgery VSG Oct.8 2010. 23pds lost pre-op. I am 5'6" tall. Feeling amazing!
Happy New Year to you as well and congrats on all your successes. Isn't it amazing the changes our bodies go through. Some days I look in the mirror and I'm amazed at what I see while other days I still see the old me.
Clothing is definetly a difficulty or at least I think, I've given more clothes away to the Good will actually 11 hugh orange garbage bags and still counting. Soon I'm gonna have to break down and buy a few new things cause everything is too big even with a belt and also cause my closet is pretty empty.
Good Luck on the rest of your journey. All the Best.
