6 month Surgiversary Week
NSVs that have happened to me since surgery:
Can cross my legs
Walk and not feel like I am dying
Off all my meds
Sit on one couch cushion
Found my hip bones
Collar bones are visible
My husband can get his arms around me
What I am currently doing:
Gave up on the whole stalking everything I eat and freaking out over everything I put near my mouth
I have not hit any stalls since not worrying about food and fluids. (Yes I realize some of you might have just had a wee stroke reading that, but this is what is working for me and I am not looking to get everyones approval in my life anymore sorry...)
I eat what I want when I want and that is approximately three to four times a day and usually about an ounce to 2 ounces at a time
Fluid intake is pretty good and has actually gotten better since I quit obsessing about it
I AM PLAYING DISC GOLF and LOVE IT (except for those damn trees that seem to love to be hit by my discs:()
All my blood levels are normal and in my whole life that has never happened before
I have lost over 70 inches too!
Wow! You have done absolutely fabulous. I have posted before too about obessing over food in a different way now that I have had WLS and I also found that when I relaxed about it a bit, the weight came off easier although protein is always the mainstay of my food intake - I just don't count it obsessively any more, nor do I count carbs or calories excessively. I'm not eating doughnuts or pies or cookies and I have a general idea of my daily intake. Thanks for having the nerve to say it as it certainly goes go against the grain of this forum. I read a post earlier where someone said that some of us are essentially posting in "defiance" when we go against the norm, but I don't think that is it at all. We are all different and different strokes for different folks. You go girl.
