34 LBS. GONE IN THE FIRST MONTH!!!
Hi everyone:
Made it to my appointment today. I knew I had lost weight (At least two pant sizes) but just look at where I was this time last month BEFORE the surgery and then take a good look at where I am now...
MARCH 1st (Just before I began my clear liquid diet in preparation for surgery....
And this is where I stand AS OF TODAY
As you can see, I passed for 19 yards and got a first down. :D
I am SO happy.
And to think my certified trainer of a brother doesn't think lap bands work!! YO BRO - I AM LIVING PROOF!! (Sorry...Just had to toot my horn and do a little sibling bragging *LOL!*).
I went from 311 lbs. down to 277 lbs.
If you wish, you can read the of this abbreviated version of my blog post here (Permalink).
Cheers :D
Hi everyone:
Thanks Jana!!
I'll tell you guys something else too. When I first got inside the clinic, got my scooter (Which I now use mainly for my Cerebral Palsy & Epilepsy) parked, and stood up (I'm capable of walking though I use the scooter when going long distances), take a WILD guess at the VERY FIRST thing that happened was....
Give up?
LONDON BRIDGES WERE FALLING DOWN....FALLING DOWN......FALLING DOWN!!!
I mean, they dropped to the point where my shorts were beginning to show under the bottom of the light jacket I was wearing. Suffice to say that Liz, Cheryl & the other gal (The one who handles the financing I believe), you know, the fair ladies who LOVE hanging out at the front desk when you first walk in got a laugh out of it. But I quickly pulled my pants back up as if to say "THAT IS ALL FOR THE PEEP SHOW FOLKS. NOW BACK TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING".
I imagine I was probably the gossip of the office for the remainder of the day once I left.
Anyway...I think that's when it hit me as to how much weight I had really lost.
Cheers :D
