1 Year WL Surgerversary!!!
Oct 11, 2009
Hey, it has been 1 year since my weight loss surgery, and everything is going really well. I have lost 90% of my excess weight, and the nut and doc are very pleased with my progress. Me, I'm very happy but of course I want more!! I am still stuck at 172lbs and no matter how hard i work out, and how hard i stick to drinking my protein shakes the scale has not budged for nearly 4 months now. However I have also had some "uh oh/duh" moments where i have sneaked an eat more bar or two and had the odd packet of pretzels or some popcorn. Not a terrible thing really but certainly not as focused and driven as i was immediately after the surgery, as nothing passed my lips that wasn't on the "ok" list. However when i do have a minor slip up i make sure i get right back on track, as i am never going to go back to the fat chick who put her life on hold and spent most of her life saying "when i loose weight i will.........."!!!! Well i did surpass my goal of getting into a size 12, as i am now in 10's and sometimes i can wear 8/9 but i have to suck it in allot!!! Talking of sucking it in I have been referred to a plastic surgeon here in Sask, Canada and should have my consultation with him within the next few months. I'm very excited and also nervous to think that the excess skin will be cut away and i will have a new flat stomach. I'm also thinking that if the bat wings are covered under our health plan then i will get those done as well. And my breasts which were once a D cup have vanished, and I am left with nothing but an A, otherwise referred to as an egg cup or trainer boobs by me and my friends. I am left with nothing but some sagging skin with nipples on the end, not terribly attractive. And let me tell you, when i wore my modest bikini this summer I had to be very very careful when i moved because no matter how tight i tied those babies in if i lent on my side the skin would literally slide right out of the bikini top!!! Get the picture? But I don't think they are covered so i will forgo the house renos and treat myself to some new breasts down the road. And seeing as I am on a roll here, let me tell you about my non existent love love! I have been on a few dates but i am terrified of seeing any of the guys again, even though i like some of them, because i panic and think what if we start dating, then I'll have to get naked and have sex, and the thought of someone seeing my body at this stage is frightening, especially when i think about the noise the excess skin slapping around would make - you get the picture!!! I'm caught in a tricky situation because i want to find my soul mate and share my life with someone, but I'm terrified of how i will approach the excess skin situation and trust me, even with the blinds shut and the lights out he's going to know there a skin issue going on!!! LOL. Well, its Thanksgiving in Canada today, so happy thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians, I'm off to enjoy some of my moms wonderful turkey (well a few bites anyway)! Jules xoxoxo
