19 months out from my first surgery
Jan 04, 2010
It's been 19 months since I got the first surgery a sleeve, and now it's been 7 months since step 2 the DS. And I have currently lost almost 225 lbs, more than half my SW.
I have gone from a size 30 to a size 16. And I feel great. I have no signs that my weight loss is slowing down yet, so I hope that I will have reached my GW 159 in time for my 37th birthday in July. I have already told my fiance what I want for my birthday present, I want him to take me to our local amusement park and give me a ticket that last all day, so I can go on all the rides over and over again. The last 12 years I haven't been able to fit in them, but now I am sure I can! So I have some catching up to do...
I have followed my NUTs recommendation and keep eat a varied diet, consisting of much protein, medium carbs and then veggies. And I try to keep to a rather low fat diet just the opposite that is recommended in the US. I don't do any bullets or proteinpowders, and my doctor checked me up about 14 days ago to make sure I have eaten enough protein and the testresult was very good.
Over all, all my lab values are really good and I notice that I no longer suffer from mood swings....
I love my new life and my new stomach...
