10 Months Out and 103 lbs. Down
Dec 28, 2009
Well, I am 10 months post surgery and I am down 103 lbs. I have about 15 lbs. to go until goal but to be honest I am perfectly happy where I am right now. I am a size 8 (which I have never been in my life) and weigh 159 lbs. It is so nice to walk into any store and pick whatever I want off the rack. It is so nice to order something from a restaurant and not feel like people are looking at me and thinking that the "fat girl" should not be eating that. It is so nice to not be the "fat friend". How freeing RNY has been for me.I only have 2 complaints and they are not major problems, just irritations mostly with myself. First, when do you ever get to the point where you stop telling total strangers you had surgery? Everytime it comes up that I have lost alot of weight and people ask how I did it, I feel the need to be "completely" honest so I tell them. Some are nice about it and some say, "oh!" like I didn't work for it. I need to just say, "lots of hard work" and leave it at that. I will make it my goal to start doing that.
My other complaint is something I knew going in but it still bugs me...floppy skin. I am trying to get used to it but sometimes it bothers me. Dressed I look awesome but bathing suit season is going to be a little hard to handle. Oh well, I guess it was hard to handle at 262 lbs. too! LOL.
So that is where I am at today, 10 months post op. Would I do it all again? ABSOLUTELY!
