11 Weeks Post-Op Today! :-)
ELEVEN weeks ago today, I had my VSG Surgery. Yesterday I made it into ONEDERLAND…so I am so excited about that! I bought myself new Work-Out Shoes as my Reward! I have lost 56.6 pounds as of today, 19.8 Pre-Op and 36.8 Post-Op. I lost 2.3 pounds this past week, and I have more NSVs to report! FitBit tells me I have lost 48% of my excess weight! My NSV for this week:
-My granddaughter wanted me to take her to Pizza for Lunch. We ordered her favorite 5-Cheese Pizza, and I ate only the toppings of 2 slices. Did not miss the crust at all! :-)
My next Scale Goal is to reach my "Half-Way To Goal" mark (1.9 pounds away). Then after that to reach a BMI that moves me from Obese to Overweight (8.4 pounds to go). But I do NOT a date set for reaching these goals. I find that focusing on NSV's of changed behavior is more important that setting Weight Loss Date goals, because it is the changed behaviors, not what the scale says, that will enable me to reach my Weight Goal in the long run.
I am so very thankful I had this Surgery!
