Almost 2 years Post op!! WOW!
Jan 25, 2009
WOW Where has the time gone! I am almost 2 years post op and doing well. My beginning weight was 401 and I am presently hovering around 212. I have LOTS of excess skin that needs to go! I have a very busy life as an EMT and I am going to starting Paramedic school in Feb. My job would have never been possible at my weight before. Often in my job I see people that are still young and trapped in side there bodies and unable to do for themselves due to their morbid obesity. It hurts me and makes me grateful because I know that's the life I was heading for. When I get a chance I do talk to some of my Patients about my surgery and how it changed my life. I hope to make a difference.As for food....I do find that I Can eat pretty much anything except for dairy without issues.Dairy just makes me feel terrible. I do have issues with sometimes making bad food choices at times. It is easy to fall back into old habits but I have to remember where I came from and where I can go back to if I don't respect my body. Unfortunately ..I suppose...sugar is not an issue for my and I am able to tolerate it without the dumping syndrome. I would be better off w/o it though I know. It is still work and it is still very worth it and I would do it all over in a heart beat.
