Wow, what a journey this has been! This last Wednesday (June 9, 2021) was 11 weeks post-op. It was a good week for me and I am excited to share my successes!
In the weight loss community, there is a term “onederland” that means you are finally under 200 pounds (one hundred something pounds). This is a goal for many of us trying to get healthier and change our lives. For me personally, I think it has been 20 years since I weighed under 200 pounds! This is a huge milestone that is definitely a cause for celebration!
Wow. Just wow. I know that weight is still far too high for my 5’2.5″ frame, but at my highest weight I was approaching 300 pounds (263 to be exact). So, seeing that number brings a sense of pride, accomplishment, and feeling that I am finally taking care of my health and life.
I had my first set of post-op labs drawn this week to check my vitamin levels, iron, and many other things following my restrictive gastric sleeve surgery. All of my labs were PERFECT! Clearly I am getting enough nutrition through my food and my thyroid supplement is working as intended!
There are some other exciting things going on in my personal life, but that is not weight loss related…buuuttt, I might discuss it here soon 😉
