Just an update...
Feb 20, 2010
I noticed I hadn't uploaded pics in awhile, so I thought I should. It was a good opportunity to review my progress. I'm doing ok...slowly creeping toward that goal. I'm down 110 lbs. now. I'm still hoping to reach my goal and lose another 45 lbs. This seems huge at this point, but I'm just going to keep doing what I have been doing. I've found a few key things have helped me keep to my daily protein requirements, as well as feel good. I still get a sick feeling if I drink cold things, eat carbs, etc. It's gotten better, but all food still seems to get stuck in my chest. I take it as a good thing, and it keeps in mind the "tool" that this surgery is. My one daily meal, usually breakfast, is a wasa cracker with a slice of cheese and some turkey. If I'm really hungry, I can eat two of those. I have been maintaining between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. I LIVE on coffee as my beverage. So, nothing really exciting, but I'm glad to feel relatively normal and healthy. It's been 17 months since surgery and I feel normal. Normal is good.
By the way, I'm wearing a size 14 dress!!! When I started, I was a 26/28. Yes, I'm happy!
