7 weeks post op

WOW!! What more can I say??? I never thought I'd go through this much change in such a short period of time. I'm down a total of 43 pounds since surgery, had to buy new clothes, look and feel like a new person...and I still have a way to go lol
Was cleared to resume a "normal" diet last Friday...and was so excited to have my first salad...was actually craving a salad for weeks! A little disappointed that my salad was small (only about a 1/4 cup) but it satisfied that need. Finding out that just because I "want" something doesn't mean my body will tolerate it! Like tonight, tried a hot dog and a few fries, and spent hours feeling horrible. Sick to my stomach, sweating, feeling horrible. So no more hot dogs or fries for me.
Amazes me how I can be full after only a couple of ounces of food. So I try to make good choices (maybe not tonight, but it was a rare occassion lol)
I encourage anyone considering the surgery to go for it. Just remember, it is not a "quick" fix. It takes a big commitment and the ability to make a lot of changes in your lifestyle. It's not easy but boy has it been worth it.
New pics coming this week!!
