3 month post op check in!

It is so hard to believe that it has been 3 months already (yesterday was). Even though I struggled in the beginning and am still not perfect now, dang water, I am still so proud of how well. I am doing. Since having surgery I am down 35.4 lbs. However since my first consult back in November I am down 50 pounds!!! 

I had my check up with my surgeon last week and he said that I was doing great and that my slowed weight loss is normal at the 3 month mark and to just up my exercise. He also cleared me for all foods, though I haven't had anything out of the ordinary yet. I have been wanting salad but am a little nervous. Plus it is hard to explain to my brain that I can have it even though it isn't protein. I haven't been able to justify it yet.

Clothes wise I am down 1 to 2 sizes depending on how they are made. Which is awesome. Last time I had lost weight I got down to 160 before I was able to wear some of the clothes I am wearing now! I was exercising then too but apparently it is different this time. I am in some 16s though they become too loose by the end of the day, and some 14's! I am beyond excited about this! Right now I am working out 2-3x a week but am seriously considering starting C25k again. I did it a few years ago and loved it. Running does amazing things for the body. 

The past month from adding exercise I have lost 12 in all over. Surprisingly my thighs look smaller but haven't changed at all, well actually one gained 1.5 in. But I know that is from squats. 

Sorry this is so long winded. I haven't been on here much so thought I would do a BIG update! Hope you all are doing well!! 

Jenna, Youre doing so good!  We're going to do this thing together!!! Im in 14's with ya!  It is funny how different body parts lose at different times.  My legs are holding on to all of that excess like there is no tomorrow.  Capris are my new best friend, since every time I put on a pr of shorts I just want to take them off again... 

But Isn't this whole thing such a rush!!!  Keep going girl!!!

Thanks Jo! It really is crazy I think I would be able to go smaller if my lower belly would go away! Though I did lose about 2 inches this month on my lower stomach! I had 2 csections so I have a lovely flap that is lowly starting to go down! Yay for 14's!! 

I think with my legs it is just muscle but some fat is getting stuck since they haven't went down. I can feel some of the muscle though 

Ah soon you will be rocking the shorts too!!! We're gonna get there!!! 

Today one of the guys I work with said he'd thought I had HIV...A lot of weight Ive lost is in my face & upper body...I actually think he meant it as a compliment...lol people can be so funny/weird...

I think some people have no filter lol!

Congrats Jenna! Way to go!

Thank you!!

You are doing great.  It took me quite a while to go down in pants sizes then when it started changing, I even skipped some sizes, lol.  Congrats on a great trip so far!!!  Now to just keep on keeping on.

Thank you Price! I knew that pant sizes would take a while. I carry a lot in my lower belly, hips, butt, and thighs! I always have! I wouldn;t mind skipping some sizes lol!
