10 months ago I was laying in recovery wondering "What the F*** have I done to myself?" LOL I was sore and the pain meds were not working very well. I had to wear an oxygen mask because my sleep apnea and then the pain meds decreasing my breaths caused my oxygenation to dip into the 80s when I slept. I was miserable, and then they wanted me to get up and walk. Walking helps move the gas out of your system. So walking I did. Laps and laps around the ward and nurses station. Endless laps!
Now I *know* "What the F*** I did to myself"... I got a new lease on life. I got my energy back. I got my health back. I got so many new levels of freedom that it is hard to even express! So many Non Scale Victories too. So many things that make my life 1000 times better than it was. :)
Sometimes those NSVs are had to express but the pure numbers just don't lie! As of today on my 10 months surgeversary:
I have lost 121 Pounds.
I have lost 19.8 BMI points
I have lost 2.25 Inches off my Neck
I have lost 2.5 Inches off my Upper Arm
I have lost 1/2 an Inch off my wrist
I have lost 9 Inches off my Bust
I have lost 10.25 Inches off my Waist
I have lost 11.25 Inches off my Hips
I have lost 7 Inches off my Thigh
I have lost 4 Inches off my Calf
I have lost 3/4 of an Inch off my ankle
Total Inches lost: 48.5 Inches!
I am super proud of my accomplishments and do not regret for one minute the surgery that changed my life for the better!!!
