9 MONTHS POST OP
I am now 9 months post op. It seems like time just flew by. I feel like a completely different person now. I am now committed to a much healthier lifestyle.
12/21/09 (day of surg) I weighed 264 lbs (I had already lost 12 lbs w/ 10 day pre-op diet and before that i had lost 20 lbs while waiting for approval) highest: 296 lbs
Today: 169 lbs
Pre-surgery size: 24W (tight)
Today: 10-12 misses
Pre-surgery shoe size: 9.5-10
Today: 8.5-9
Pre-surgery meds: 3-high bld pressure, 1-diabetes, 1-cholesterol
Today: NONE!!
walking/jogging workout:
January 2010: 2 miles/hour- 1 don't think i even lasted 30 minutes (I was in pain!!)
Today: 11 miles in 2hrs, 35 mins (doing a 10 k in 2 weeks and a 1/2 marathon in Nov)
Regrets: None. I probably wish I could have done this long ago , but I am not sure I would have been ready for the commitment that is required to be successful.
My goal weight is 150. I would like to reach that by my 1 year anniversary. Along the way, i have given myself little rewards everytime i hit a milestone. I already have picked out what i want to do when i reach my goal weight. I am planning on going SKYDIVING!!!! I can't wait!
I wish everyone the best on their journey!
Band + healthy eating + excercise = weightloss
