4 months out and...
Dec 02, 2010
December 2, 2010...feeling pretty good about my weight loss. I started losing my hair a couple of weeks ago, but I don't really mind it because my hair became very thick in my 20s and 30s, and I always wanted it a bit thinner -- more manageable. But pre-ops and newbies should know that the hair loss will happen, as will stalls! Be mentally prepared for it.
Since I've been sick these past couple of weeks (double ear infection, walking pneumonia???), my appetitite really decreased and I dramatically lost weight, and then the weight loss stalled a bit, but now is back on track.
It's all good -- all a part of the process.
I can't complain at all; I can't believe I've almost lost 100 pounds in 4 months!! So wild to think that I weighed nearly 275 pounds. My only realconcern is after the "honeymoon" is over, in about a year or two when I will be able to eat more and absorb more calories.
Making good food choices is so important -- I never want to go back from where I came and hopefully that will be motivation enough to keep me at a reasonable weight. I'm very happy that I made the decision to have the surgery. I was so scared before surgery and this has been a MUCH easier ride than what I had thought. Crossing my fingers that it stays that way.
