Update 10 21 08
Hey everybody, how are y'all doing?
Today marks 5 weeks post-op. I started this journey at 338.8 lbs last August. When I went to my first consult with Dr. Avara, I weighed in at a whopping 311.5. Today, I weighed in at 270 even. That's a 41.5 lb loss since August 7. Combined, I am down 68.8 lbs, a 20.3% weight loss.
Last week I weighed in at 278.5. Today I am at 270. That is a loss of 8.5 lbs, my biggest one week loss yet. Needless to say, I am very excited.
I got some compliments over the last couple of days. The first one came on Saturday. I called my mom as I do every night, and she told me that one of her best friends saw me, and said she could tell I had lost weight. Today, I was at school (
) and one of my teachers told me that she could tell I had lost weight. She was one of the few people I told about my surgery at school, and when I told her how much I had lost, she nearly had a heart attack. The third and final compliment came from the baseball coach at my school. I was getting my clothes from him (the clothes we wear at baseball games; I am the statistician) and he said he doesn't believe that the clothes would fit, as he could tell that I had lost weight since the beginning of school. I told him I was down 42 lbs, and his mouth hit the floor (I didn't tell him I had surgery).
Well that wraps up my week 5 update. I am still shocked I have lost 42 lbs in just a little over 2 months. This surgery was well worth it so far.
Thanks for reading,
