I know it has been a terribly long time since I posted but life has been so hectic. I am now 6 months out and have lost 116 lbs counting the 21 lbs that I lost on the liquid diet before surgery. I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16 without the w behind it YEAH! Without a doubt this surgery was the best thing that I could have ever done for myself. Was it easy? I honestly have to say no but it was worth it! The lifestyle change took some getting used to. I was bad to use food as my coping mechanism before surgery and had some problems redirecting after surgery. My dr put me on Lexapro for the bouts of depression and I did have a few panic attacks but I think those were more work related than surgery related. Lexapro slowed the wt loss down a bit for a while but now that my body has adjusted to the meds the wt loss has picked back up to normal. Haven't really had lot of problems with being sick. I do notice that my tastes have changed since surgery and things that I loved before just do not taste good anymore. I still have problems with the protein drinks so I try to get most of my protein from food. All my blood work keeps coming back as fine so I guess that is working for me. As for hanging skin I notice that my arms are a little flabby but other than that everything seems to toning up. I still have pics to post but just can't seem to find the time. Hopefully I can get those up soon.
