3 Months Post-Op

Nov 05, 2011

Well, I can't believe it, but it's already been three months since my surgery and already I am halfway to my goal.  Excitement!  My husband is doing even better: he has lost over 100 pounds and is well past his halfway point.  We are so enjoying losing the weight and looking like our old selves.

The journey has been pretty easy; it's quite amazing.  I'm still struggling to get 64 oz of water down a day.  AJ is still trying to stop eating before sliming.  He's jealous of me because I haven't slimed.  But I'm jealous of him because he has lost way more than I have, lol.  The hardest thing for him is slowing down eating.  The hardest thing for me is going out to eat with friends.  Since we have made the decision not to tell anyone about our surgeries, it is difficult to hide how ridiculously little we eat now.  So, we don't really go out  at all, except maybe for a cup of soup or a cup of meatballs at IKEA.  "We've become cheap dates," my husband keeps saying, lol.

People at work have started noticing, which is nice.  I even have had a few 12-year-old students notice.  Nice.  I took a picture of us recently and posted it online and friends in other cities noticed the weight loss.  AJ, in particular, gets tons of comments about looking younger.  It's fun.  I'm excited to keep losing.  Right now, I'm losing about 2 pounds a week, and that's fine by me.  I'm hoping to be at goal by summer.
