One year today!

Apr 29, 2011

I am 1 year post op today, hard to believe it has already been a year, time flys when your having fun! Today I weigh 172 pounds, just 12 pounds short of my goal weight. It is funny to me because people keep telling me not to loose anymore and that I sure am skinny, but 172 is not too skinny, in fact I am still obese by the bmi scale. It is fine with me even if I don't loose anymore weight and I really am not trying to loose, I will settle at a weight for a few weeks and think I will probably not loose anymore and then I will suddenly loose a few overnight. I need to work out more, I stand all day long doing hair at work and when I get home I am drained physically and mentally from talking to and intertaining people all day. I took meds for high blood pressure pre op and today my blood pressure actually runs a little on the low side, all I have to take these days are all my vitamines. I have become a thrift store junkie, as I lost weight I would find things to wear then and some smaller to look forward to wearing, now I get bummed out when things I really liked are now too big, I am wearing a size 12 pants and a med to large top, went from a 48DDD bra to a 34D, I have a little loose skin but no where as bad as I had thought it would be, I might have my boobs done and a tummy tuck eventually but for now I really am o.k. with just a good bra. I have a lot more energy than I did before, I know I am much more outgoing and never feel self concious in public, I have a cute swim suit just waiting to hit the beach this summer. I love my gastric bypass, it was the best decision I ever made for my health.
