10 Weeks Post Op
May 03, 2011
It has been 10 weeks since I had RNY and I feel terrific. I am getting closer to my goal each week. I have 30 lbs to go and I know that the weight will begin to start slowing down at some point. I hope that is not for a few months though. I have my 3 month check up on Monday with my surgeon and I am hoping to make her very proud of my progress. I have gone from a snug fitting size 18 jeans when I started this journey 1 year ago to now wearing a size 10-12, depending on the cut of the pants. I am wearing S/M shirts, from a XL/2XL. I don't see the change as much as I want to, but in reading the posts, I know that we are the last to see the change in our bodies. I have so many people around me telling me that I look great and I am getting skinny. I can't see where this journey will take me. I am still adjusting to being back at work and fitting in all my protein and exercise. Exercise has been somewhat of a challenge, but I am trying to walk every other day for 30 minutes. I figure it is better than nothing right now. It's hard with the kids' schedules and know that in a few weeks I will have more time to concentrate on me. I still have no regrets on having this surgery. My gastroparesis is no longer an issue. My blood pressure is getting to the normal range without meds. An the weight I have lost is just an added benefit - beginning this journey 220lbs, this morning at weigh in 155.4 lbs. Not too shabby if I can say so myself. I am hoping to get some before and after pics posted soon.
