Month 2

I made it to the 2nd month! As of 9/2/14 I weigh 182 lbs. WOOT! That means a total loss of 24 lbs since surgery, 33 lbs since before my pre-surgery diet and 38 lbs since my highest weight of 220. It feels great! I can now fit into some size large tops and size 12 pants. My glasses are actually too big now and I need new ones. How exciting! I've also started to jog a little bit and it feels so motivating. My goal was to get back into running so now I'm starting to introduce my body to this. It's pretty wonderful and I must say that I don't regret this surgery for a single moment.

I bought a fitbit flex from a friend and am wearing that to keep track of my steps and calorie loss. My daily goal is to walk about 2 miles. Some days I don't do shit, and some days I walk way more. We went on a camping trip and hiked 7miles in one day. I think we over did that a bit bc I was sore for a whole week!

I do want to mention that my doc found a small ulcer in my stomach. My symptoms were a constant stomach ache and nausea, esp when eating. I have to take protonix and this liquid medicine 4x a day to heal it. I already feel a lot better and only have nausea now (not constantly). I can even drink 1/4 cup of coffee in the morning which helps me thru my day! I feel so motivated to get into shape and feel more athletic already. My dogs appreciate the jog :)

Anyway, here are my latest pics:
