3 Months Post Op W/ Pics
These have been the best 3 months of my life!.. I was lucky enough to have a text book recovery! I was back to my normal routine in 6 days and I seemed to just move from phase to phase very smoothly.
As of 5/15/11 I had lost 66lbs -- I have not weighed myself in a month but I am guessing I am somewhere near 86 Lbs lost.
I went from a size 34W to a size 24W in 3 months and I feel like I can run a marathon! Even If I still can't because of my bad hips and knee (Osteoporosis!)
I have been keeping a blog for those interested www.mcanella.com
Here are the Pics :) :)
P.S. Thanx to everyone who has offered me support during these beginner months!

My Text book recovery I believe was because:
1. I am young (only 25 yrs old)
2. I was up walking 10 minutes after they brought me into my room after surgery! I sucked up the pain and walked as much as I could
3. I used the spirometer 10x Every hour (I have a history of Asthma and Did not want my lungs to be compromised)
4. I started supplementing before surgery
and last but not least! I was just very lucky! Everyone's body reacts differently to surgery.
Funny about the shirt! hehe most of my clothes are from Lane Bryant (Even though I stopped fitting into LB a while ago and had to shop online. Not anymore :)
P.S. Best of Luck on your surgery :)
