It's been a good week

I've not had much to report, other than it's been a good week for me. My pain went away on Tuesday, so I was relieved about that. I have lost 57 pounds, and I am now wearing the smallest jeans I owned from before with Weight Watchers--which meant lots of new shopping last week. :) Food-wise, I've had no major problems. My appetite hasn't been that big, so I'm just trying to make sure I get all of my protein in.

I joined a forum called Thinner Times, for people who've had some type of weight loss surgery. On the site, there was a link to a place where you could enter information about your weight loss so far, and it would make a line graph of your expected weight loss. Based on my numbers, it said that I am projected to lose 100 pounds, if I keep at the same rate I am now, by early next spring. That is amazing! It said I could be at my goal, which is to be around 130, by next summer. That sounds like a great plan, and we'll see how everything progresses. :)

I got some bloodwork back from the doctor's visit last week. Two numbers really stood out to me. My cholesterol in May of this year was 248, and now it's 166! (Below 200 is desirable) My triglycerides were 245, and now they are 90. (Less than 150 is considered normal) So besides the scale and my measurements, those are two awesome results that show the surgery has added many years onto my life.

Well, if anything new comes up, I'll post this week. Until then, take care!
