Shrinking Away!

Hello Everyone, I went for my 2 week checkup yesterday. I'm down 11.6 pounds from my surgery day weight! Yeah!! I look in the mirror and can't really see it, but my family says they can. My stomach is still a little swollen, but I have noticed that the skin on my thighs and arms feels differently...looser somehow. I feel pretty good, but I still get tired so easily. After my appointment with Dr Clark we went to Sam's Club to pick up a few things. We only walked from the car in and around the frozen food section, but I had to go sit down at the tables by the snack bar while my husband checked out. Then I came home and took about a one hour nap! Dr Clark says I'm the palest "doing well" patient he has ever had.

I guess my iron is still a little low. But I'm not complaining. The scale said I was down to 241.4. I haven't weighed that since shortly after my daughter was born (5 years ago!). Well, I hope you all have a great day. I'm going to take a walk with my daughter! Cindy HW: 272, SW: 253, Yesterday: 241.4

Cindy, that's AWESOME!!!!!! You're doing great and you'll be feeling alive with energy here sometime soon. I had surgery 2 weeks before you and it took a good 2-2 1/2 weeks and then something hit me and I feel GREAT!!!!!! It's amazing!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
