Has it really been 8 weeks already?
Feb 09, 2011
Wow, I cant believe that tomorrow will be my 8-week post-op mark! I am still amazed everyday when I wake up and weigh myself. It is quiet different to actually be lossing weight than gaining it. I keep thinking that this is a dream, and it is hard for me to accept that this is actually happening... I am sure it will all really set in soon.I am happy to say that I went clothes shopping, and I am down from a size 16, to a size 10, and the 10's are already getting to be lose on me! I also had to buy a new bra because I have shrunk a little in that area as well.
It feels good to feel good. I am able to eat what I want, as long as I chew it well and eat slowly (this is my biggest struggle to this day). I am snacking a lot more than I was before, but I make sure it is healthy. This really does keep up your metabolism.
I am still hearing from a lot of people that I did not need the Sleeve, or that they had no idea I was 70lbs heavier at some point. This does make me feel a little self concious at times. But a year ago today, I weighed 70lbs more than I do today... I was able to lose 40lbs on my own through dieting, lifes style changes, and a lot of exercising, but as soon as October and all that nummy Halloween candy came around, the weight started to creep back on. I was done with the up and down results, and I wanted something more premanant for me. I am 30, and I want to live the rest of my life being healthy.
I am just now starting to work-out. I am excited to get toned up and looking great by summer time!
