Hi everyone! Today is my 2 week surgaversary! I wanted to do a weigh-in update and an overview video of what it’s been like since surgery and what was the surgery process/hospital stay like.
Let’s start with the weigh in!
Highest Weight (Jan 3, 2013): 251.6 lbs
Day of Surgery (Mar 6, 2013): 231.5 lbs
Two Weeks Post-Op (Mar 20, 2013): 220.7 lbs
Eek! That means I’m down 10.8 since surgery and 30.9 lbs total. I was really hoping I’d be out of the 220’s before today but that’s ok. I know I will be for next week’s weigh-in. I’m hoping for a 5 lb loss this week. Cross your fingers for me! I need to stay on top of water, protein, and walking because that seems to be the 3 main triggers to moving the scale.

Thats good girl! U are doing fine just hang in there!
Im going monday to Vanderbilt in Nashville Tn to meet with the surgeon. Im sooooo ready to to get this over with. This waiting game is hell! I have decided to go with the bypass instead of the sleeve. Do u have any regreats at all??
Thanks! I don’t have any regrets. I actually just discussed this a little in my video (which is now posted). 🙂
Have you finished all the pre-requirements for surgery that your insurance requires yet?
Congrats! Totally jealous! Love you!
Dana, you look amazing! You might not see it now, but look at your first video from like a month ago. I can totally see it in your face! Good for you.
Aww. Thanks Erika! You are right but it is always hard to see the changes in yourself. I can’t wait for the drastic changes.
Awesome job! Keep up the good work! Water was (still is) one of the hardest things for me!
Thank you!
Way to go Dana. I can also see changes in your face. I wish I knew my new surgery date. Sometimes next week I will know. So excited. And I’m so excited for you too. It sounds that you’re doing really good. I’m so happy for you.
I know I’m late but youre looking and sounding great!
