Welcome to Size 24

Jul 28, 2014

For the past two weeks I have been wearing 1x size shirts when I can find them. I don't have many though. This morning I fit into size 24 Petite jeans! Yay! Today I am 2 months and 6 days (67 days) post RNY gastric bypass. I feel exceptionally well. I am walking when I can. I take the stairs rather than the elevator. I do a lot more than I used to and doctor appointments are constantly keeping me on the go.

Last night I had a sleep study. I just had one in January. Now that I have dropped 105 lbs, the doctor wanted to check me again to see if I still have sleep apnea or if they pressure needs to be adjusted. There was no need for a mask during the sleep study so that is good sign. I feel like the study went well. My appointment isn't for a few weeks yet.

I had some blood work done on Friday and a urine test. I was sent the results to my email and from what I see, everything looks good. If I had to guess I would say I have a bladder infection right now. Hopefully the family doctor will call today and let me know the results in layman's terms.

All is well. I have been separated from my husband since June 30. I have my own apartment now. I feel very independent and I wake up smiling knowing I have finally done the one thing I have thought about so long.

Last night I signed up for a Master's program. I am looking forward to it. I do not have a vehicle right now so I have idle time. I may as well make sure of it. Masters of Science in Addictions Counseling. My goal is to learn more about eating addictions and to pass on that knowledge through counseling in the future.

Life is good. I have no regrets, other than not having had RNY sooner.
