Today i'm 2 months post RNY!!!

Aug 10, 2009

Today i'm 2 months post RNY and I couldn't be happier with my weight loss.  I have dropped 60 POUNDS!!!!!  This is so amazing!  I can't believe I have been able to drop this much weight in such a short period of time.  That's practically 1 pound a day since surgery.  I definately see it in my clothes and in my new pictures.  My husband says he definately notices a difference in my mood swings and my self-esteem.  I've already had to buy a few underwear since my old ones are starting to fall off.  Before I knew it my old ones were sagging down to my thighs. LOL.  I use to buy size 24/26 panties at Lane Bryant, now i'm buying size 18/20.  I also purcahsed a few sports bras since they are cheaper then buying new fitting bras.  I still have quite a bit to lose so I don't want to buy too much right now.  Thank god I saved most of my smaller clothes from when I dated my hubby because I'm putting them to use now.  I fit into my old pants size 20 and some 22's.  I get soooo estatic when I try on some of my old clothes.  The best compliment i've had so far is that I look soo much younger.  That i've knocked years off of me.  I always struggled with looking so much older then what I really was all throughout my teenage years.  Not that it was always a negative because I got to use that to my advantage at times.    My sister is 9 yrs older than me and people would always ask who was the oldest.  It was so depressing.  How could a 34 yr old mother of 6 children look so much younger than a 25 yr old mother of 2 children?  Well that's not the case anymore and it feels GREAT!

Well along with the good news I also have bad news.  I went bike riding the other day and flew off my bicycle!  Landed on my knees and sprained the heck out of my right ankle.  Both of my knees are a bloody mess and my footand ankle are so damn swollen you can't even tell were my ankle bone is at.  Oh, and my bicycle is totaled.  It was a gift 1 yr ago from my husband when I tried to ride my bike to work but it was too painful.  I only used my bike a handful of times since surgery and now it's totaled along with my body.  I've been off work for 2 days now and I have 1 more day before I go back to work.  I hope my ankle doesn't hurt as much by then.  Then I was stuck with "what the hell am I gonna take for pain?"  I tried Tylenol and it just didn't help like I though it would.  I stil had some Lortab so I took some of that but now i'm extremely constipated.  Well I guess i'm gonna have to go get some flax seed oil or magnesium citrate.  Well worth a good nights sleep though.  I will be taking my 2 month post RNY photos later today and post them.  THANK GOODNESS FOR MY RNY SURGERY!!!
