6th month post RNY
Jun 24, 2010
June 21st was my 6 month mark. I've lost 75 pounds since surgery and 80 from my highest weight. I've lost 30 inches. I've gone from a size 22 to a 14 size pants. My sister gave me a pair of size 12 shorts that almost fit. I cannot believe that I wear size 14. It must take awhile for ones brain to catch up with the body. I still feel fat.Am I doing this perfect? NO. Most days/moments I make good food/protein choices, drink enough fluid, and exercise.
I've had many people tell me I look great. I do feel good. The real proof will come when I'm measuring years not months.
I had a wow moment this week. When my grown son introduced me to his boss I did not feel embarrassed about how I look. I don't want my family to feel embarrassed by my appearance. This same son (when he was in grade school) bit a young boy because he made fun of how fat I was.
I love going to WLS support groups and meeting people on ObesityHelp.
I don't ever want to be fat again. Is it normal to have fear about this?
Thanks to all you new friends that have encouraged me~
