It's been two months now since surgery

And it seems I am progressing nicely. My stall this week turned into a slowdown not a stall cause I kicked it's butt to the curb.

Okay, I've lost 11.8 lbs this month. Add that to the 22.2 lbs last month, for a total of 34 lbs in the 2 months since surgery and 37 since I started the whole process.

I've lost an additional 8.625 inches this month. Last month was 23.3125 inches, total is 31.9375 inches GONE. I'm in a size 12 pants (already getting baggy) and a size large top.

My best wow's so far:
Coming off the insulin pump and then insulin.
Wearing a size 7 ring in front of my size 9 1/2 wedding ring to hold it on.
Wearing a NORMAL size 14 inch necklace for the first time I can remember.
Being smaller than I've ever been since I was 35. (and since I ever was married, I weighed 180 when I got married)
Being able to sit crosslegged in the recliner like my 25 year old 117 lb daughter does, LOL and be comfortable.

Wish I had done this years ago!!!

You should feel great!  Whoo hoo they are some great accomplishments pre WLS and post.  When I read your post- i know I would be doing the happy dance about the insulin.  Just wait for all of the great things that are still to come!  Keep up the hard work.
