Becoming Thin… And Staying That Way

My Life Before, During & After Weight Loss Surgery

Last night I tried on my wedding dress of almost NINE YEARS ago!! I was 19 when I got married. And it fit! It was actually not as tight as it was the day I got married! I couldn’t believe it!

I’ll have to get all prettied-up and try it on again so I can take pictures and post them.

YEAH!!!

-101 pounds… 16 to go…

WOOO!!! HOOO!!! I just had to shout it to the world!

I’ve lost ONE HUNDRED pounds!!!

(I’m sure that going to a friend’s birthday party last night and drinking like a fish and being totally dehydrated this morning has something to do with it. But I don’t care. The scale said 152 and I’m countin’ it!) =D

I know once I spend all day drinking water, the scale will go back up. But for today, I’m at -100 pounds! It probably won’t reflect on my weekly progress update since I fluctuate from day to day. We’ll see…

Oh! And I got a call from Dr. Wongsa’s office and my re-test of my iron levels came back normal. Thank goodness. He lowered me to 2 Flinstone Plus Iron Vitamins per day instead of 4 a day. At my 6 month post-op check-up he said, “well, you did it.” I was like, “what?” He said, “your normal range BMI is 19-33 and your BMI today is 32.6. Congatulations!” Then he proceeded to tell me something I have NEVER heard from a Doctor. “Eat whatever you want.” Can you believe that? I’ve always been told to diet. He’s worried about me losing too much weight. He doesn’t want me to go below 140 pounds. My goal has been 135 so that when/if I have a tummy tuck, I should be 130. But, we’ll see what it’s like at 140… I’ve got to get there first. So, as Scarlett O’Hara would say, “I’ll think about that tomorrow.” ;-)
