2.5 months

Jun 20, 2012

Hard to believe that it's been 2.5 months already since surgery.  My current weight is 218 pounds so that's 64 pounds lost since I started this journey back in January.  I've had a number of meaning NSVs: I can wear my wedding ring (or could if wasn't retaining fluid from my stupid period), I bought dresses in size 18 and just today I bought workout pants in a size Large!  It's been a really long time since I bought anything without an X (or multiple Xs in the the size).  I've also started taking tennis classes and I'm really enjoying the fact that I can move so much better.

I can eat pretty much what I want but I stay away from high sugar items, white carbs and, for some reason, I can't handle scrambled eggs.  It's pretty weird because hard-boiled eggs are just fine.  I've had a few episodes of throwing up but nothing major or long-lasting.  I sometimes feel kind of yucky for about half an hour after eating a meal with noodles, rice or larger pieces of meat.  And I have to be careful to watch the size of bites and eat s l o w l y.  

I turned 37 this month and I really think that I'm going to be healthier in my late 30s than I ever was in my 20s.  Next goal is to get under 200!
