2 month surgiversary!!
Today marks 2 months since my surgery! Overall I am doing really well and am happy I did this. I have lost a total of 42.4 pounds including preop. You can see the breakdown in my signature.
I started out in a 20W (pretty tight) and am now in 16/18 depending on the brand (not the W version either)!
How awesome is that?! Everyone can tell I've lost weight and I get quite a few questions and compliments. That part makes me uncomfortable more than it flatters me. Oh well. I'll live with it!
Pretty much everything I've eaten, I have tolerated well. I haven't ventured into the fruit/veggie world too much. Also haven't added many carbs in, by design. I had a few french fries one day (3) and that made me super duper tired. I didn't like that, but I'm glad it happened. It is good aversion therapy.
My only issue since surgery is the c diff infection I picked up in the hospital. I still have it and will be on antibiotics for another 6 weeks. Ugh. But my symptoms are well controlled right now and that's a blessing.
My husband has been super through all of this. He is my biggest supporter. He took excellent care of me through the rough days at the beginning and through this terrible infection. I don't know what I'd do without him.
I'm not at the point where life is super peachy and all my fears are behind me, but I feel pretty darn good and everyday I get closer to the utopian feeling I'm waiting for. Thanks for everyone's support on this board. You guys & gals rock!!!
Edit: I forgot to mention I'm 3.6 pounds away from Onederland!! Woot!

Yes please reinforce how important it is to have someone to support you on this journey. You give me hope as I am just getting to the point of pureed foods but still struggle getting in my protein and fluids even now at 18 days.
Please keep us newcomers informed..the good, bad and ulgy.. and of course..the REWARDS!!
Hugs my OH friend, Jan
