Two months already!! (With pic)

Well, the time has just absolutely flown by! To all those pre-oppers out there, believe me when I say that once you get your date the time will just start to fly by. I'm still feeling wonderful. I have a day every now and again where I experience some low energy (today was one of those days) but, otherwise, I feel fantastic.

A lot has changed since surgery: As of this morning I've lost 68 lbs. I am so much more active than ever before. I walk between 5 and 12 km/day with most days being between 9-10. I notice that I am not always the largest person in the room. That's an odd sensation as I seem to have identified with that woman for so long. I move about more easily. I am joyful - and thankful every single minute for my RNY.

On the negative side of things: My Vit D level is a bit low so I'm on an 8 week course of 50,000 IU per week. Certain foods are a hit or miss. Chicken and eggs tend to be the culprits but things are improving. My taste buds have changed so much. I dislike sweet things for the most part and a lot of foods I once loved now taste sort of BLAH to me. I like intensely flavoured things and crave dill pickles like nobody's business. Thankfully, they have zero calories.


My internal thermometer needs readjusting as the cold has kicked in. For the first time I can remember I'm looking forward to the summer heat.

Thanks for all the wonderful advice, support, and friendship I've found here on OH. It certainly makes the changes easier to cope with.

Here's an updated face shot. Guess I should change my avatar, as well.
