Week 12 Update

I'm a slacker! I know!  I had nothing to report last week.  So I just skipped it.



So here's the update for 3 months post op.



1.  I went for my 2nd fill yesterday.  It was a lot less painful this time.  Instead of a doc doing it, it was one of the surgical nurses, and she had no problem getting into the port, and it only felt like a bee sting for a minute.  So I was really pleased!  I was supposed to get my 2nd fill at the end of the month, but after weeks of still not losing, I called and she bumped up the time.  Yesterday while in the office at the hospital she told me that they had to do the fills gradually to keep it from breaking.  And that sometimes it does take a while to lose weight.  But it will come off.



2. My weight as of yesterday at the docs. = 114.6 kg (252.6 lbs)

 So yes I gained weight!!  I blame it on the cheesecake I made for our party 2 weeks ago, and had to eat to get it out of the house!  Now in all fairness I made it with low fat products, dark chocolate, and tried to reduce the sugar some.  AND I ate very very tiny slices.  Thankfully the guests ate about half the cake, and over the next week nick and I finished off the other half.  :)  Hence the gained kilo.  lol.



3.  Since it's been 3 months since surgery I thought I would try checking my measurements and see if that has changed.  Which I suspect it has as I now look "gangsta" in my jeans (in other words they are baggy).  But I haven't lost enough to get into my smaller jeans from before I moved to Sweden.  *sigh* Good things come to those who wait, right?



12 Week Post Op Measurements (measurements are in cm, for inches try click here)

	Original	Current	Difference
Right Arm	41.5	40	1.5
Bust	116	110	6
Waist	106.5	98	8.5
Hips	135	131	4
Right Thigh	76	70	6

Well I'm not extremely pleased with the numbers. I wish the difference was higher. But it's better than nothing right? The good thing is each measurement has gone down, no matter by how much. J

So that's what has been happening over the last 2 weeks more or less. I have a feeling next week I'm going to see a move in the numbers! *crossing fingers*
