10 weeks, 55 pounds.

Today marks 10 weeks.   I had a really good week on the scale so that always makes me happy.  Given my indulgences (see previous post) I'm a little surprised.

I was able to eat an entire piece of pizza and didn't feel even a little ill.  This AM I ate an entire egg white and cheese sandwich on a roll (threw a small bit of roll out).  I had maybe a bite or two too many but I never felt sick, I think it was eating too fast more than anything.  That's the most volume I've been able to have - don't know how I feel about that!  I like not feeling instantly sick, but I worry my restriction is going away!  Eeeeeks.

Anyway, here are the numbers:

HW: 335
SW: 327
CW: 280.2

Loss: 54.8

That's really really close to 20% of total body weight gone!  It's about 35% of *excess* weight loss.  Remember the average for this surgery is to lose about 70-80% EWL if I recall correctly.  I mean, I'd like to lose 100% of my EWL but we'll see.  Either way, on the right track.

You know what's frustrating though?  Clothing.  I was so excited to start getting smaller clothes but NOTHING FITS right. I used to have a very proportional body (big, but in proportion).  Now my waist is bigger in relation to my hips/thighs and nothing fits.  Not only that but stores seem to only make 'curvy cut' meaning they cut larger for the thigh/butt and cinch in the waist.  Because OBVIOUSLY all plus size girls need a bigger butt.  Blargh.

Anyway, I have some new stuff on order and we'll see how it works.
