almost 6 months post op
Jun 21, 2009
I am now almost 6 months post op and feeling like Im walking on clouds...I feel soo much lighter! I started at 289lbs before the surgery, was at 272lbs on the day of surgery, and am now 203lbs. Now-a-days foods are going down way to easy and so are liquids. This is the time I think I really need to buckle down and make good food choices. I haven't been measuring my food or keeping a food journal so I am going to start tomorrow. It is nice to have all the compliments people give me who haven't seen me in a while...it's also hard to take them too!I haven't had any complications throughout this process other than the narrowing and having to have a procedure done at almost 4 weeks post op. But that fixed all the issues and have been great ever since. The only complaint I have is the change in taste of foods for me. Some things I can't taste the flavor of...ie pasta, rice. But I need to stay away from those foods anyways.
All my clothes are way too big so I just have 4 tops and 2 bottoms and thats it! At this point I refuse to spend tons of money on a new wardrobe when I will still lose more weight! Economic times are rough!!!
So all in all, everything is going great and at this point I can finally say I would make the same decision to have the surgery. I feel 100 times healthier and can do more things than I have done in decades. My daughter and I race to the door or the car...Im not sweating or out of breath! I love it! The lose skin on my arms is outrageous though. I should of exercised more after the surgery but am starting to now! I know I will have to have the skin removed on my arms for sure...ugh!
