The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

I had a major F.A.R.T. yesterday. I had to replace my work clothes for the second time since surgery. When I started this journey, I was wearing 60” waist George Foreman pants from Casual Whale (The ones with the elastic waist band) and they were stretched to the max. Last night I bought my new clothes at WAL-MART!! I am now wearing 48’s very comfortably! 12”+ gone from the waistline forever! My shirt size has dropped from 3X (20’s) to XL (17’s). The band is definitely doing its job. Weight loss is steady, the inches and pounds are evaporating daily! With that all being said, here are my results to date… 05Oct06          389.0   -           Initial Consult with Illinois Bariatric Clinic 14Jan07           385.8   -           3.2# loss since Initial Consult (Approval Date) 17Jan07           383.4   -           Pre-Op Consult - 2.4# loss (Start Liquid Diet) 21Jan07           371.2   -           12.2# loss since Pre-Op Consult 28Jan07           362.8   -           8.4# Loss since last Sunday 30Jan07           359.6   -           Lap Banding today 3.2# Loss since last 04Feb07          355.2   -           4.4# Loss since surgery date 08Feb07          352.8   -           Post-Op Consult - 2.4# loss since Sunday 11Feb07          349.6   -           3.2# Loss since Post-Op Consult 18Feb07          350.2   -           0.6# GAIN since last Sunday 25Feb07          344.4   -           5.8# Loss since last Sunday 04Ma07           338.4   -           6.0# Loss since last Sunday 08Mar07         First Fill          Band is at 4cc’s 11Mar07          333.8   -           4.6# Loss since last Sunday 18Mar07          327.6   -           6.2# Loss since last Sunday 25Mar07          326.0   -           1.6# Loss since last Sunday 01Apr07          323.0   -           3.0# Loss since last Sunday 08Apr07          321.0   -           2.0# Loss since last Sunday 15Apr07          314.4   -           6.6# Loss since last Sunday 16Apr07          Second Fill      Band is now at 6cc’s 22Apr07          311.8   -           2.6# Loss since last Sunday 29Apr07          306.8   -           5.0 Loss since last Sunday 82.2# Loss overall 52.8# Loss since surgery 7.6# Loss since last band fill
