60LBS DOWN/ 2 MONTH UPDATE

Apr 25, 2012

I feel AMAZING! Just left my 2 month check up on Monday, everything is all to the good! I feel like life has really back to normal but it’s a new normal. I can walk for long periods of time and get this I can RUN lol…I’m appreciating the little things J My body is changing so fast. The weight has dropped mostly in my face, arms, belly, thighs but strangely not my boobies lol…these things are still like a DD. I’m not complaining lol…just wondering if they’ll disappear too. I was holding off as long as possible but it’s definitely time to get some new things. I think I’ve been holding on to them because I like seeing how loose everything is on me, it’s a reminder of my process. But now that  my pants fall down, it’s time. I tried belts but it’s so much excess material in the crotch and belly area, it’s time to toss them. Off of the pureed diet, eating well…Thus far I’ve been doing a good combo of things raw veggies and dip, Activia light yogurt, a half of scrambled egg or half a boiled egg with a small piece of sausage or bacon...I still do fish and certain beef, chicken is iffy, sometimes it works other times it comes back up. Mashed potatoes work well and I do about 4oz of light juice with very little sugar and dilute it with 5oz of water.   I get curious and see what I can and cannot try and doing a lot of healthy cooking. The one thing I won’t even go near are SWEETS!!! So many people have put the fear in me about what they can do to you. I don’t even give them a second glimpse, it’s almost as if they disgust me now! I’m happy, I feel so much better about myself – I actually feel NORMAL. It feel good not to be the biggest person in the room, and to actually be able to sit in a stadium seat without my guts being squeezed out lol…What else is new…Oh Yea I’ll be back in school next month. I started an MBA and never finished, I have 5 more classes to go so I enrolled back in my program to finish AND my employer pays for me to attend another Grad School so I’ll also be resuming my MA in International Relations in the Summer. So life is going to get very busy. I feel so motivated to push through and finish to prove to myself I can do anything I set out to achieve and to be an example for my children. I tell you surgery gave me a second chance at life, I say it over and over again and I’ll say it again today, surgery was by far the best decision I could have ever made. So, my 3 month weight loss goal is 210lbs. If I get there, I get there, if not, no worries I know it’ll come J
