One Month and Counting

Jul 12, 2010

On July 10th, it was one month since my lap band operation.  I am suprised that I haven't lost as much weight as I thought I would, but I'm not going to give up of course. 

What I do see is a change in how my clothes are fitting though.  I have to use a safety pin in my trousers and in my tops to give them more support in the chest area.  

I know that I have lost inches in my waist, and I have definitely noticed that I have lost a lot of the "muffin top" in my back.  I hated that roll of fat that hung over my bra.  My arms appear to have lost an inch because it's easier to slip into my shirts.  

When I walked in the past (with a dress on), my thighs used to rub together in a way that was very painful.  Now, I can walk with just a small amount of rubbing.  I can even cross my legs. 

So overall, I have lost only 15 lbs, but with results that keep me plugging away.  I bought a Schwinn stationary bike and I have bought several different types of videos for strenth training and flexibility.
