4 months postop
Apr 07, 2010
Hello !!!
Im down 57 lbs...I had my 4 month follow up yesterday...the NP called me "tiny"...it felt good...
My 7 y/o has told me all along "I dont see it"...well last night I put up side by side photos from the day of surgery and 4 months out and he said....oh I see it now....
Then he wrapped his arms around my waist and got so excited and shouted "im the smallest person in this house and i can get my arms around your waist and hold my own hands"....at that point we were both excited....lol
I have not had any problems at all....I have never thrown any food up...not even nausea...besides the immediate post op period, which i feel is normal...
I had a hard burning sensation after eating a raw tomato one day, so I dont eat much tomatoes, specially not slice after slice...I ate on that bad boy all day long, just cutting a little here and the acidiness musta been too much for me....
I pretty much eat whatever I want...I dont do the sugary thing though....I have been known to eat a kids popcicle on occasion...I will admit to trying things...if you do, just be ready to suffer....
If we make a pasta dish, i eat around the pasta and pick out the meat, I will eat some pasta but not in every bite.
If i eat a fried piece of meat i remove the skin or breading....again i admit to trying the skin from fried chicken...and it was good....but for the most part i take it off..and leave it alone..
The NP told me yesterday, that I need to follow the rules without fail in the first year....I stay really close to them...I do get in a rut with my eating, i sometimes feel like i eat slabs of meat and get bored..i plan to venture over to eggfaces blog and get some ideas...im worth the trouble....
Thanks to a friend of mine that i met on here (Kim)....I am learning my self worth...that doesnt mean i think im pretty or look sexy and am gonna go flaunt my stuff....it means im worthy of this life....im not just the silt beneath the doormat...
Tell someone that youve never told before that you love them today and every day that you get the chance...
I love you !!!!
