4 month post op update!!

Good morning all you losers!<br />
<br />
Today is the 4 month mark. I can't believe it's been 4 months since my surgery. I have never felt better and can't begin to tell you everything that has changed but will attempt to mention a few things....<br />
<br />
I have lost 66 lbs and have 25 or so to go. Not sure what my goal will be. I will let my body decide that I guess. All I know is I haven't weight this little since my college days. My husband has never seen me this small and boy does he like it...wink, wink!<br />
I cleaned out my closet and gave all my old clothes to a women's shelter. Now it's time to go shopping!<br />
I love shopping in regular stores! I tried on a size 10!!! Pant and it fit. I also tried on a pair of leather pants I have from 15 years ago and they fit.<br />
<br />
My blood work came back perfect!!! I was low on iron and VIT D<br />
after my 1 month post op, so I'm relieved it's all good now.<br />
I signed up y<br />
To run/walk a half marathon in the county this next month!! I have a few girlfriends that are going to do it with me!!! Yikes, I have been training 5 days a week and hope it's not too early to try it but I'll give it a shot. I couldn't walk never mind run for 15 minutes prior to this surgery!!<br />
My measurements went from:<br />
49" Hips to 40"<br />
29.5" Thigh to 24"<br />
42 " Chest to 38"<br />
Waist 42" to 33"<br />
For a total of 27.5 " lost!!! I sjouke of measured my arms but didn't. I think I've lost at least 2 inches in my arms too.<br />
I can't stop crossing my legs.<br />
I can clean house in less than 3 hours, when it use to take me 5 hrs!<br />
I ride my bike with my kids. We bounce on the trampoline and skip!!<br />
My hair has started to fall out a bit but I'm not too worried.<br />
Some of My patients at work don't recognize me(its been a year since they saw me)they are full of compliments which I'm aclittle uncomfortable accepting but that getting better.<br />
My feet have shrunk From a size...9 to an 8. My rings need to be resized but I will wait till I finish losing.<br />
My husband and I are planning on a winter vacation somewhere warm and I'm actually looking forward to shopping for a new bathi g suit!<br />
My kids tell me how proud they are of me and that makes me happy. I feel 10 years younger( I'm 48) my kids are 8 and 13.<br />
Well that's all I can think of today but keep you posted.<br />
Thanks for all your support. I don't always post but religiously read the boards daily. I know that reading everyone's experiences have helped me and will continue to inspire and motivate me to reach my dreams and goals! Thank you to Dr Hagen/Sohi and all the staff at HRRH<br />
I love my RNY!!!!!<br />
