5 Months & Counting

So it's been 5 months and a couple days since my RNY and AMAZING wouldnt be a good enough word to describe this experience. I can honestly say that this is the BEST thing that I have ever done for myself. I am happier, more active, have a better outlook on life and my quality of life has improved ten-fold!! Not to mention I LOOK GREAT!!! #I'mJust Saying!
I'm still learning how to handle all the attention that I get from men now and it's so weird. I wore the below ensemble yesterday and I got at least 16 compliments from men and women alike. I'm so proud of my progress. To date I have lost a little over 50% of my excess weight. 49 lbs to go..... Wish me well!!!!

Good for you girl!  Although the dress is hard to see for the flash (blink blink) - I do love blue...You've done awesome!  50% is amazing in five months :-)

Thanks Jeep Girl!!!

Thanks Kevin! I appreciate it!!!

Go girl!!! That's amazing!! Where are your pics? Please share...

You look great! I'm glad the whole experience has been so good for you! We had our surgeries on the same date! I've lost a bunch of weight, but I wish I felt as good as you do! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Carla!!!! Wow you have done an awesome job!!! I'm a slow loser... :-( But I guess it's not such a bad thing seeing as though I have another 7 months to lose the last 49 pounds which should be more than enough time. I'm so envious of individuals like yourself though. What have you done to lose so fast. And also I hope you begin to better soon!

Hmmm. .. What have I done to lose so fast? Well, I've had 5 strictures and have one now, so I can't really eat or drink anything. I also have a horrible ulcer, so I've been on a liquid and pureed diet for several months. I developed hyperthyroidism after surgery, so I am losing weight that way too. Can't say I've lost it in a healthy way at all, but I hope that everything will start to work itself out. They're talking about either a revision or reversal though. My ulcer is not getting any better, so I'm sure they'll be going in again at some point. Believe me, you definitely don't want to lose the way I am. It's been a miserable five months. Keepin' my chin up though. I just hope to feel as great as everyone else does one of these days. I'm envious of those that feel good and can eat!!!
