I am 5 months post op today.  I have been feeling wonderful!!!  I have been walking on the treadmill a 1/2 hour everyday and doing arm exercises.  The hair loss has slowed down now.. thank god, but my hair has become very dry.  I went to my first support group meeting post op.  It was at the University of Penn for 2 hours with about 50 people there.  It was mainly pre-ops there and they were asking me all kinds of questions.  I am still kinda shy talking to people definately when I had to talk into a mic. lol... This past month flew by.. I can pretty much eat anything..sugars, carbs, you name it.. I don't agree with people on here who are so against eating carbs or sugar.. I feel this surgery was a tool and you gotta work that tool.  I could eat a whole bag of oreos pre-op now I will have 2 and be fine with that. Or I could eat a half a bag of chips (a big bag) and now I'm fine with a hand full...  I was in alot of stalls this month and didnt even think I'd lose 5 lbs... but I kept pushing myself with the treadmill and the weight was just coming off by the time Aug 12th rolled around... <3   I love my RNY!!!

This month flew by.  I feel great.  Everyone is complementing me on my weight loss which makes me feel even better.  The only thing I hate about this past month is the hair loss.  I am losing handfuls a day.  I try not to wash my hair everyday.  It sux!!   I even went to the shore for the week.. 7/5-7/12.. I was scared.. I cheated alot and I figured I mighta gained a few pounds.. but came home and lost 2 lbs..
