1 Month Post Op
Nov 30, 2012
*****update - I went to my pcp on 11/30/2012 which was my official 1 month follow-up. I was actually down 50 pounds which was my goal (although I thought it was unrealistic)!*****
Well I am 1 month post-op. So far, I'm down 48 pounds. I could be down a little more than that, but I only allow myself to get on the scale on Thursdays. If I don't set this limit, I'll be getting on the scale everyday and driving myself INSANE!!!!
I am doing well. I may not be able to eat more than 2-3 spoons, but that's a good thing. I don't feel deprived, and I have a versatile diet. I didn't think I would be happy with my DS this soon, but I am! I have never been able to lose this kind of weight in such a short amount of time. I have been getting so many compliments!!!! (although, I think people are just being nice) LOL! I've always been very critical of myself so it'll be a good while before I actually *see* any changes in my appearance.
I'm so excited because I know that this time next year I will look and feel like a totally different person. Happy, Healthy, and SEXY! LOL! kidding, i'm already sexy in my own way. 
My severe back pain is gone, knee pain is gone, sleep apnea is going away, and I believe it's time to get rid of my blood pressure pills. If one month can do all of this, I'm going to be totally stoked by month 5!
Clothes that I couldn't fit a month ago, fit just fine now. And the clothes I could fit a month ago are now baggy. I can't wait to shop for more clothes. Especially when I can shop in the normal sections of the department stores, that will be awesome!
That's all for now. I posted some 1 month post - op photos. Subtle changes, but progress nonetheless. I'll write more and post more photos for my 2 month post - op! See ya soon, and Happy Holidays!!!!!
