One Month Post Op NSV/SV

Aug 21, 2014

What a crazy month! At moments I look back and think, has it really only been a month?? And the next moment I think, how has it been a month already??  So much to learn, about my new tummy, new ways to handle social situations, new wardrobe challenges as I shrink.. It really has been quite eventful.  It has also been one of the best things I have ever done for myself and my family.

I have lost a little over 48lbs and am feeling FANTASTIC. I am wearing a size 18 jeans (I was wearing a 22/24), some of my wider neck shirts are sliding off my shoulders and I am ENJOYING my daily walks!!   Shortly after I wrote my last post, my  stall broke and the scale is marching along in the right direction again. My son and I will be attending 2 concerts in the next week (something that previously was a daunting and exhausting task) and have planned a hike on one of the more gentle Adirondack trails. I still have a VERY long way to go and I do not expect it to be easy, but for now, I am just REALLY enjoying this moment. Hope is a precious thing, and I am so glad to have it back in my life, I really did not even know how much I had missed it. Praise God for filling my heart with this joy. And bless all of the OH members who have been so supportive and informative.
