Thanks to everyone for the congrats wishes! I only had a minute to post yesterday and I was so excited that I didn't want to wait until today! It was about ten to five and I looked at my phone and said out loud-I guess another day went by. About five minutes later it rang! They were calling to confirm my payment that was due at the next appointment on Tuesday. So after getting that info, I asked the woman if they had heard anything becuase I started the liquids and was hoping to hear soon. And then she says ever so casually-Oh yeah I have your authorization in front of me. You're fine. HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL! Could we not have led the conversation with that?????
Of course I freaked. I couldn't sleep last night actually. I'm full of emotion. Scared, excited, nervous. Mostly excited. I'm glad that I decided to stick with the therapy because one of the fears I have is that it will change who I am. Not in a bad way necessarily, but I think that there are a lot of things that I don't do because I feel like everyone is looking at the fat girl in the room. My DH thinks I'm nuts. But I really wonder what I will look like thinner. I haven't been under 200 lbs in 10 years.
I will be posting some before pics this weekend! I'm so excited to do those. I hate taking pictures, but these I can live with! And I'm going to do my measurements too. On a side note, I'm curious how much weight did you guys lose from pre-op to 6wks? I have to travel to Canada at the end of my 6wk post op for work, and I was wondering if I will be able to buy any new clothes?? BTW, I totally know I'm getting ahead of myself!
Have a great FRIDAY!!!

YAY! Nothing like an approval!!! *Happy Dancing going on here* You're going to be a March bander!!!
ReplyDeleteTaking out the weight I gained in the hospital from the IV fluids (I came home 10 pounds heavier) I actually lost 14 pounds the first 6 weeks.
From the start of pre-op diet to 6 weeks after surgery I lost 33 lbs. (I was tiiiiight after surgery!) I'm sure you'll need at least one size smaller. Go get your shop on!
ReplyDeleteWith being on liquids after surgery I did lose some weight, you might need a few things but don't spend a lot of money on them! You'll be needing new clothes a lot now. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's probably difficult not to run out and get a bunch of new clothes right away, but like Leslie said, you'll be shrinking out of your clothes quickly so don't buy too much. Of course, as you know, I can't tell you how much weight I've lost between pre-op and 6 weeks after surgery because I don't have the band yet. :-(
ReplyDeleteFrom pre-op to 5 weeks post-op = 24.4 lbs. and one clothing size.
ReplyDeleteWell I am only 3 weeks post op but through it all I have lost 15lbs. But I have already lost a pant size. My clothes are falling off of me. So I have seen a bigger change in inches than pounds which is ok too. So yeah go shopping! yay for you
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you Jenny! Whatever you do, don't spend a lot of money. You will not be at that size for long. I have a few pairs of jeans in smaller sizes, 2 dress pants in smaller sized and one or two suit jackets that are smaller. Hopefully you can find a few things in your closet that you can get away with?
