5 Months
posted on 11/10/09 1:11 pm
I'm one week shy of being 5 months post op.  I'm disappointed I missed my 4 month check up; i have no idea what I weigh.  I don't feel like I'm having any complications and I'm thankful for that.  I have some minor concerns to speak to the doctor about.

Though I don't know how much weight I've lost, I do know that I've lost a few sizes.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around exactly how many sizes I've lost.  I think I'm a 22 on top and a 24 on the bottom.  It depends on where I shop.  I've always been strangly shaped; clothes just fit me weird.

I'm enjoying shopping but it's getting expensive!  I know I'm buying too much at one time.  Everything is just so cute and I'm glad I can fit it.  I hope I'm a size 16 by summer.  That's aggressive but I think I can do it.  I need to start a resistance training program to shape my body.  My exercise has been minimal; occasinal walking and I know I need to be more active. 

Now that I have more options for clothes, people are begining to notice that I dress differently.  The attention makes me uncomfortable but I guess I should get used to it.  They make comments like "you're really stepping it up!" which makes me wonder...what did I look like before.  I've always liked to look nice, even when I was much bigger.

Change can be hard.  Sometimes I find myself falling back into bad habits.  It takes a lot of focus to make sure I don't over eat or eat the wrong foods.  I dont want bad food most of the time, but the smelling it is difficult.  Sometimes it's hard to watch other people enjoy food the same way I used to, but I know the obese lifestyle isn't for me.

I met a new guy recently and I've chosen not to talk about this part of myself yet.  I'm just not ready.  I know I should eventually; he's going to want to go out to dinner soon.  He needs to know about my eating habits up front so he isn't confused when he watches me eat a toddler sized serving of food.  I really like this guy and it's recipracol.

I'm enjoying life a little more.  It's much easier to go out and do different things because I don't get tired after an hour.  I also don't have the aching lower back or knees.  My right ankle will likely always be an issue; I sprained it a few years ago and it's never been the same.
