18 weeks post op

well i have just typed a very large post update.. hit the publish and it crashed losing it all grrrrrr...
so basic one here we go..
i have now lost 4 stone 5lbs.. in 18 weeks inclusive loss includes pre op diet..
I am now down to a 20/22 from a 26/28 and feeling the benefits of such a size drop . I have more energy and enjoying my life more..

05/03/2012 80((

WELL not posted for a week or two.. had my three year old daughter ill and now i have the same sickness bug YUK!!!.
Well on the weight front i have now lost 68lbs.. 2 lbs off 4 1/2 stone so really please considering it has only been 18 weeks!!. Gone from a 26/28 to a 20/22 still big but from where i have from a big difference!.
I now go to the gym three times a week and walk daily for around a mile to 2 miles.. with our lovely golden Labrador puppy George(so cute)
giving gym a miss today as i feel like poop but walked this morn with george and will go for another brisk walk a little later this evening.
I have also signed up for Race for life in July so looking forward to doing my bit for charity and to honour my grandmother who sadly passed away 5 years on march 10th. (so this week is a bit of depressing week for me )
Still losing 1 or 2 lbs a week which i,m loving... I would never have lost this weight without my WLS TOOL the WRAP. However before i had WLS i did think the weight would disappear at a fast rate and that i could eat anything...how wrong was I? After a little talk to myself i realised that it has taken me years to get to this size and i am not going to become slim overnight!. plus do i want it to really drop off? no! thinking of the saggy skin issue if i exercise and lose it slowly then surely my skin would be better than a fast loss...
Right now my skin does not seem too bad i am moisturising daily..plus exercising  plus drinking the gallons of water.. and peeing for britain!! so fingers crossed it wont be that bad!.
just in case though i have set up a saving account for a tummy tuck.. most prob will need one one day...so best get saving hey!.

I also have another goal.. My friend is reaching the big 40 in June.. and a girlie party is planned at a posh hotel.. everyone is wearing a dress and going the full hog.. so my goal is to be an 18! I,m currently a 20/22 so doable in 3 months?? i,m going to try! I am losing 1/2 stone a month so should have lost 1 1/2 stone bring me to around 15 stone 7lbs...
I have saw a dress I love but dont want to buy it just in case.. so watch this space... operation DRESS in now in operation..
Well i will stop waffling and say bye for now.. x

4 MONTH WEIGH IN

Well where has the time gone hey!! its 4 months already and I am still happy with my wrap and  the results so far. I weighed this morning and i have lost 56lbs since the the pre op on the 9th October 2011.
Restriction with the wrap is good..somedays i feel I can eat more than I should then the following days i just do not want to eat..I am watching what i eat and the KCALS on everything that goes into my big mouth lol
Plus i am now exercising three times a week and from this week I am upping this to 4 times a week plus walking more...
I have bought a gorgous Labrador puppy who is called Charlie and he will be my walking buddy for the years ahead! hes gorgous lol
I have gone from a 26/28 in clother sizes  to a 20 which in 4 months is beyong my wildest dream!!!.
I went into Cardiff shopping the other day and walked into Evans and thought hey I DONT NEED TO BE IN HERE ANYMORE I can buy clothers elsewhere....So I went to another shop on the high street called m @co and bought a gorgous top wohoooooooo

Still got a long way to to with another 5 stone before i will be happy but theres no rush hey!! and I dont want to be greedy.
