Awesome Revelations

I have to say I feel so incredibly blessed that my screwed up intestines prevented me from having the RNY surgery and landed the VSG in my lap by complete surprise.  I had such a depression after I woke up from my surgery and they said they had to go with Plan B...I was certain I was destined to be overweight forever but I sucked it up and put all my effort into making my new sleeve work for me...and work it has!  I never expected such results!

I will be 6 months out from surgery next week and it feels so good that I am still actively losing weight!  I took some tips from Frisco and actually dropped 5.1 pounds today!  I had primarily been doing what he had suggested but got a little more diligent and bam...after 3 weeks of 2-3 pound loss a whopping 5.1 pounds came off this week!

Last week I wanted to be out of the 250's so badly and I got my wish....but now I am quickly sneaking up to the 230's in the blink of an eye!  I am starting to see that it is possible that I could actually be under 200 pounds at some point!  What's even more crazy is that I am starting to think it's possible I may one day have a normal BMI!  What the hell?

I feel like I am having an identity crisis!  Everything I did before was to sort of exist and survive as a severely morbidly obese person!  I am 245 pounds and used to be almost 400!!  It's unreal!!

Thanks to everyone here who has supported me!

I start to get kind of hyperventilatey when I think that a) I'm the lowest on the scale I've been in my fat life and b) I could shop for jeans at The Gap again. The fact that I'm taking inunder 500 calories a day and not starving freaks me out a little. too.

So I totally get the identity crisis. 

I just close my eyes for a moment and do my best to forget about it. I know intellectually I'm losing weight and will continue to do so for a little while even if I do nothing but follow the food plan. 

But I bought two new pairs of sneakers because I'm ready to run!

 Congrats to both of you.

Weeeeee! Enjoy the ride and Congrats

Be careful listening to Frisco.  I listened to him, and now I am wearing size P0 skinny jeans.  You better take my advice soon and find someone else to listen to or you too will end up shopping in the children's section of Nordstom looking for those tiny cut off shorts that go quite nicely with your brand new xs top.  I just thought I should warn you now, before it's too  late.  :)

 Checked in before bed and now I am laughing hysterically at this! I shall heed your warning!

That is truely Awsome!!!
Rock on :)

Wow that is AMAZING! Congrats!
