Four Months....WOW!

Nov 06, 2010

It's been four months since I had the surgery. I cannot believe that I weighted 68 pounds more than I do right now. The journey has not been difficult at all. I have not had any complications (praise God!) and I have not found any foods that disagree with my pouch (now .. they did). I'm pretty good about getting my supplements in during the day. I had to readjust some of them after my 3-month labs, but nothing significant. My hair is falling out pretty steadily, but I knew that was a side-effect of the surgery and that it will come back in time. I have not chosen to take Biotin yet, but may start soon. I didn't want ALL my hair to grow, but am now thinking it will be worth it if the hair on my head starts growing back quicker. 

I knew I would lose weight, but it amazes me when I put on a smaller size and it fits. Last night I went to a play and decided to try on a pair of skinny jeans that someone had given me. I had tried to wear them three weeks and they were too tight. Not only did they fit, I needed to wear a belt. I felt so good wearing those jeans. I know I'm still obese, but I feel so good! People at work are calling me skinny. I'm not skinny, but it feels good to hear them say it. I originally thought I wanted to weigh 130 pounds, but I'm not so sure now. Will that be too skinny? I guess my body will stop where it wants to stop and I will be happy with the weight wherever it is. Funny thing is, I'm happy now. This surgery was definitely the right decision for me. So glad I had it!!!!!
