Hi all! I have managed to lose another 5 pounds over the last 2 days. I'm so excited! This brings my total wieght loss so far to 50 lbs. I will reach my 12 week goal hopefully by week 9 which is next week. I only have 2.5 more pounds to go. I can't tell you how wonderful this is to me.
I will say though, that I'm still feeling absolutely huge. I know my clothing is lose and my shirt size has dropped but I'm still wearing the same size pants as I was 50 lbs. heavier. Now, my pants are loser but I'm not down to the next size yet. This is frustrating to me! Even though I've always known that I will lose a bunch on the top first...this is how things for me have always worked. Sigh! It'll come off but the bottom half will be slow coming.
To make myself feel better, I decided to measure myself for the first time since pre-op.
Here are my measurements before surgery:
