7 months today

May 26, 2010

I am trying to make a special effort to document my experience.  I hope that it will valuable to me and for those who will go on the journey later.  I got the test results in the mail this past weekend from my 6 month check up.  My vitamin C and Magnesium were low and they want me to take supplements.  I feel great.  I am still working to increase my exercise.  I am attending a dance class twice weekly.  I am riding my bike weekly, and I have started lifting 5 lbs. weights.

I am still wearing between a 14 -18 in pants, L/XL shirt.  I am still battling with head hunger and  carbs.  I have been hovering around 232 lbs.  I am reminding myself to be patient.  I understand that the "sweet" phase may be over and I am really gonna have to work.

My quality of life has really increased.  I have more energy and less shame.  Although I am smaller than I have been in many years, I still want and need to lose a good bit more weight.  I am happy to be more normal (like my peers).  Preop I felt like be big pink elephant in every room; clumbsy and huge.

I have not regrets.  VSG has given me my life back.
