Two Month Update
on August 21, 2007 3:55 pm
Yesterday was two months since being sleeved, so I thought I'd give a little update.  I have a total of 70 pounds lost, 45 of which is since the surgery.

I've had several wows in the last couple of weeks.  It's weird how they've all come at once.  I kept telling people I couldn't see a difference, but I'm starting to see it now.
--after 2 months and 70 pounds lost, I've FINALLY gone down one size.
--my wedding ring set keeps spinning on my finger.  It's actually kind of driving me crazy!
--t-shirts that I used to have to stretch out before I could put them on, are now hanging out from my body with no stretching.
--I don't get winded anywhere near as much as I used to.  I actually don't look for the closest space anymore because I know I can make it to the door without passing out.

I've been having problems with my website, so if anyone has been looking for updates, I'm sorry.  Hopefully things with that will be straight by the end of the week and I can get more recipes up there.

I'm still struggling with being more tired than I think I should be, but I'll just wait that out and hope it gets better soon.

Overall, I am THRILLED with my VSG and wouldn't trade it for anything.  It's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

My Story

My name is Kendra and as of this writing I am 31 years old.  I got married to my best friend on December 8, 2006 in Hawaii and we live currently live in Dallas, Texas.  I'm 5'8" and today I weighed in at 321 pounds.  At my first consultation with the surgeon I weighed 340, which to my knowledge was my highest weight ever.

I joined OH in May of 2003 and have lurked until I finally made my decision.  Now I know I will need the support of all of you wonderful people.  I made the decision, after MUCH research and advice from others, to have the Sleeve Gastrectomy.  My surgery date is June 20th (18 days!) with Dr. James Davidson in Dallas, TX.  If any of you have had the surgery with Dr. Davidson, I would definitely LOVE to hear from you.
