Well here it is 3 months already since I had my gastric bypass surgery. It sure doesnt seem possible its been that long!  If you had asked me 3 months ago was I glad I had this surgery I would have said HECK NO! I was so violently ill back then with neuasea, vomiting and severe stomach pains after having caught the gastronial intestinal bug during surgery. I remember crying my eyes out  telling my family I wished I had just stayed FAT and wished I hadnt had the surgery and why did I ever decide to do this to myself?!  Ask me that same question now today though and my answer to everyone is the total opposite! My answer now is most definately YES! Its been the best decision I made for my life!   I'm still having problems with neausea but my family physician just put me on a new anti-neausea pill as he said I needed one that contracts when my new stomach contracts. It has made me feel better though and  I'm really hoping I dont have to live on this pill forever! As for weight loss I'm down 57 lbs and counting the 16lbs from the two weeks prior for the pre-surgery diet (which I noticed a lot of people on here just add in)  then I have lost  73lbs!!   I noticed a lot of people just add in their pre-surgery weight loss when they tell how much they've lost and It drives my two daughters absolutely crazy when I say it both ways, but I like to know how much I've lost just since surgery too, so I say it both ways and continue to drive them nuts! lol  I'm eating pretty much what I want now but small quantities of course. I'm also finding out what I cant eat along they way as well. It seems lately its easier for me to stick with what works, but I find I am getting bored with the same foods all the time, so I have been trying new foods when I can.  I do have a problem with drinking the protein drinks though and I just cant do it for some reason. I've tried every way possble as far as mixing them and also I've tried different quantity amounts etc.. and I get sick every time with dumping problems!  Same thing happens with the protein bars, so now I stay away from them and  I have been trying to get protein from just my food intake, but its very hard to get it all in!  I think my biggest joy lately  has been my clothes which has become a lot of fun for me!Trying on things in the closet, some never had even had the tags off of and finding they fit or are too big because i've lost so much weight, its a big thrill for me!   I also notice more people talking to me now than before, asking "are you losing weight?" or telling me "wow you look great!" I sometimes find that hard, as I'm not used to compliments or so much attention. I'm usually the one you'd see sitting in the back ground or walking with my head down hoping no one noticed me, now that seems its impossible. See I live in a townhouse complex, and I have to park in the front to go to my section in the back. Ghetto as this may sound, the people who live here at the complex have chairs on their porches so they can sit outside and smoke or visit with the neighbors. So when I pull in to park, i've noticed lately I feel like i'm on display! I sometimes hear, 'looking good" or "your just melting away" or "how much is it now" etc etc..  I just know when I get out of my car that all eyes are on me and I just know if I walked around the corner and then peeked around to eves drop,  they'd be talking about me!  Oh well, they said things would change after having surgery and they were right i'm starting to notice it, but come on!! lol  Anyway I hope all of you that have had your surgery are doing great and for those of you contemplating surgery its a big change for your life,  but its a wonderful change for the better! !  Until next month everyone!!
