Hey Alex! I am glad that you got yourself checked out and that the weakness is nothing critical! Here are my responses... How are you feeling after wls??? ~ Terrific! I still have many struggles but I feel so, so much better now than before I had WLS! No changes in your strength???? ~ Yes...I am much stronger! When I was heavy, I could barely hold anything...barely climb stairs. Now I run up the stairs without getting winded and I can cart around my near 40-lb. boy without much trouble! What are your gratest challenges right now??? ~ Not eating crap. I was eating horribly for a very long time. It effected everything...I felt miserable, depressed, tired, sickly. I have gotten back into eating healthy (doing the protein buster-type diet). I feel so much better but it is SO HARD to maintain. It is so easy to go back to eating cookies! What were your greatest goals after wls??? ~ My greatest goal is to MAKE goal! I want to get to my ideal weight which is 160. I have 10 lbs to go to get there (at one point I only had two lbs to go...very frustrating). I am disappointed to see that I am not fitting into NEW size 10 pants, anymore (I still fit into my old jeans...perhaps they stretched!). I guess all the weight I re-gained is in my belly because, for a long time, I was a solid size 10. This weekend, though, I went to Old Navy and had to suck it in painfully to get into their size 10 The Flirt jeans. And I had the same issue at Fashion Bug. The size 10 jeans were not meshing. Granted...I have been buying size 10 dresses (even some 8's!) but I am VERY concerned about the size 10 pants issue. I know numbers should not drive my emotional health but, what can I say, they do!! So...that's the news! Hope everyone is having a great day!! Love and hugs, JM
