Almost 6 months out
Aug 26, 2011
I am about 2 weeks from my 6 months surgery date.I went to see my PCP to get my bloodwork done and was shocked that the PA I saw (for the first time) thought it was strange that I have not had any complications from my RNY. She seems to believe that there are a lot of complications from the surgery and that I should feel very fortunate, and I really do.
OK. Now I have not been very active (but I have checked in regularly) on OH because my life has been full of changes, or so it feels. I knew going into 2011 that this was going to be a year of changes, but I really had no idea how these things were going to make me feel.
I made a major decision to have my RNY, my youngest 2 children took me through the prom experience, the graduation experience and the college experience. All of this happened since March. I had my 3 month (which was actually 4 months for me) check up with my surgeon. She felt like I should have lost more weight at the time, I was only down 53 lbs at the time of my appt. That kinda bummed me out, but ?I recommitted and have been doing the right things most of the time since then. Now she wants to see me again on 9/13, just in time for my 6 months (actual) check up, and I have been in a stall for the past 3 weeks or so. Oh well, I'm a big girl I can take constructive criticism. Heck, I can wear a size 14 now!
All I can do is keep doing the right things and the weight will com off, right?
Well, the biggest change that has happened in 2011 is that I got engaged!!! Yeah, I am a little nervous that the life changes and stressors that I have experienced have taken a bit of my focus from my weight loss, but thank God, the majority of what was stressing me is now over. It is truly amazing how life changes within a very short amount of time.
I will not give in to the aggravation of my stall (at least that's what I think it is), and I will continue to work out, hang out with the family and friends and enjoy this one life I was given.
