I feel really badly that I haven't updated this blog since I had surgery. Mostly because I prefer to blog from a PC versus my smartphone. I have kept my Facebook page and TikTok updated with photos, videos and stats.
I am 3 days away from being 4 month post op. I currently weigh 317 lbs. I'm 61 lbs. down from surgery day and a total of 105 lbs. since January. I feel amazing! My a1c was checked on August 8th and came back at 5.4 I am no longer in diabetic range and haven't taken any kind of medication for my blood sugar since before surgery.
I am currently sitting on my couch with my laptop lap desk on my lap while I type this post, something that wasn't possible for me to do when 2024 began. My belly no longer smushes against the stearing wheel and I no longer have to avoid chairs with arms because they no longer dig into my hips. These non scale victories are worth just as much as seeing the number on the scale going down, if not more. Even the rough times are worth it - when I've eaten a bite or 2 more than I should have and feel awful for a couple hours afterward.
I'm incredibly proud of my progress so far and cannot wait to see where else this journey leads me to.
