Almost 2 months Post-Op...6 days till

Jun 14, 2009

I'm almost 2 months Post-op and have lost 37.5#s since surgery! 64.5#s All together!
I'm so excited, I feel fantastic! And here are some things I've begun to notice: I'm starting to be able to cross my legs much easier. Before surgery it was either the manly leg cross, the ankle cross or nothing at all, now I can cross them at the knees. (Sweet!) My shoes are getting too big for me. My feet are sliding from side to side, I might need to not get wides anymore. My roommate told me that she can start to see my shoulder bones( defined really) and my collarbone (I have a collarbone! and I can feel the bone that connects in the middle, so weird but awesome!)
Also, I went to to a water park yesterday and actually didn't feel awkward for once, and I was wearing just the suit, not even a suit with a cover up. It was great! (except for the sunburn... whoops!)

A few problems, well at least there are a few things I have to work at: I'm still having problems getting the amount of protein I should( I'm trying protein bars, since I'm sick to death of shakes) if I can get 40g of protein it's a win for me. I'm also struggling to get the amount of water I need, it's difficult because my work environment doesn't allow drinks in the work space for health concerns, I have my drink just outside the room but I forget it's there sometimes. I get probably 24-32oz a day. I used to be very affected by the water thing but it's hasn't been that bad for me lately could my body be adjusting to the new volume? I don't know lol.
I need need need need to get back to the gym, I've been having trouble getting up in the morning, I wonder if my b-vits are on the lower side maybe I should increase my intake. Maybe if I can wake-up I can motivate myself to go back to the gym.

Anyway, I'll post my new progress pic in about 6 days, peace out <3
