I can't believe how fast my first month has flown by! I haven't yet seen many physical changes, but I definitely feel emotionally stronger and ready for the journey!
I have no true desire to eat "junk" I can watch others enjoy chips, cake, candy with having the urge to inhale any of it! This is the biggest change for me! I still get hungry, but I am easily satisfied, and am making a HUGE effort to get enough protein from food, and rarely need to supplement with a shake at this point.
I am still struggling with vitamin and fluid intake, but my labs came back okay, so I will just keep working the program and drinking as much as I can! I am on Bariatric Fusion, and I do get at least 3 of the 4 tablets daily.
Now for the weigh in... I was at 371 pounds! That is 55 pounds lost since my journey began, and 50 lost since a week before surgery.
My current measurements are:
Neck: 17" (-1)
Upper Arms: 22" (0)
Wrists: 7.5" (-.5 on each, -1 total)
Breasts: 56" (0)
Bra Band Size: 52" (0)
Waist: 51" (-1)
Stomach: 55" (-1)
Hips: 64" (-3)
Thighs: 34" (-1 each, -2 total)
Ankles: 11" (-1 each, -2 total)
Total Lost - 11 inches!My hips may be the biggest loss, but I can really see it in my ankles! No more "swelling" there... and I no longer have Flintstones feet!
Not much to see yet in the pictures, but here are this month's up-to-date shots! And one of Trix since he was determined to be a ham last night!
