5 Months post op!!!

Aug 10, 2012

It seems like its been forever since I had my surgery, but it's only been 5 months. My starting weight was 291.5, and I am OFFICIALLY under 200 pounds!!!!!!! Total loss of 92.5 pounds!! I am so happy, although mentally I still feel I look like I did before. I started in size 26/28's now in 18 reg. or 16w, and an 4x to an XL in shirts. I have lost a lot of my hair. but really its fine by me because I had such thick hair before, but I don't have bald spots either. I still really don't eat a lot in a days time, I do tend to eat a lot of sugar free popcicles, mainly because my new tummy doesn't like some of the foods i try to eat. I am eating a lot of crab salad, tuna salad, as of lately. (not a lot at each setting) if i over eat or eat to fast, my body def. lets me know, as I start getting the foam and saliva build up, then i usually have to make myself go hug the toilet. That happens maybe 1-2 times a week. I am horrible, because I am a horrible pill taker and don't take my vitamins like I should...if at all most of the time. I definatly don't get enough protien either, but I do still try to get and choose higher protien foods. I can use a straw when drinking now, only if i suck the liquid up using the edge of my lip, then once the liquid has filled the straw then I will take a drink so i don't get the excess air in my pouch. still can't do pop/soda, I take sips  here and there just to get a taste, but it still bothers me.
I woulod like to loose at least another 50 pounds, my goal weight was 180 lbs, and technically I only have less than 20 pounds to go, but a even 50 sounds ok. If I get there, yeah me, but if not I am not going to beat myself up either. I have come this far.
Well I hope this is a good comparison!!
