17 months

Mar 25, 2011

Today marks 17 months since i changed my life. Some of the changes have been hard, while others are easy. It seems much easier now to live a normal post WLS life. I don't have to worry so much about what will work and what won't. I stay away from fried and surgery foods. I have been struggling with some recent weight gain and i'm praying that it doesn't mean that i'm not malabsorbing the calories already. Honestly, i didn't know before my RNY that it would end, i thought that part would be forever. Live and learn.

Some days i wish i could eat like i did pre-wls...the good ol' days? I don't think so.
 
I still get happy every time i look in the mirror at my new smaller, healthier, and fit body. Life is so much fuller. I'm not exhausted when i get home from work. I signed up for my first 5K run. Life is so much more enjoyable now. Not embarrased to go places. It's these things i think about when i'm struggling with the impulse to eat. I never really thought i was addicted to food, but i sure found out after surgery. It's all i think about....even now.

I'm still working on the 8 pound gain. Haven't lost any of it yet, but i will!
