Yesterday marked four months since having the lapband surgery. It also happened to be the annual Walk From Obesity in Long Beach, so I decided to participate with the people from my support group. I’m the one wearing the cap in the picture – just in case you’re wondering.
The morning dawned cool and foggy, and visibility was low as I drove in to Long Beach. The meeting place was easy to find, and there were several tables set up with give-away items, such as water bottles, journals, and snacks. And of course, all participants received a t-shirt to wear during the walk. The walk itself was along Shoreline drive over by the Long Beach Acquarium. We had a beautiful morning for it as the marine layer burned off and managed to finish before it started getting too hot.
I haven’t had a chance to get my monthly picture taken for the before and after shots, but will have Denny take them tomorrow night and get them posted. I also have my next check up coming on Thursday, so I’m looking forward to that. Rundown on my progress to date:
- I have lost 28 pounds since weight loss surgery
- I have lost 62 pounds since orientation
- I have lost 100 pounds since starting my weight loss journey
I am rather proud of being able to put up that nice round number of 100 pounds lost. It has taken some time and there have been set backs along the way, but I am continuing to perservere and move forward and feel better.
