4 Months Out

Mar 21, 2009

I am now in my fourth month after my surgery.  Am doing really well and feeling much better.  I have been lucky and not had any dumping and can eat most anything that I have tried.  My tastes have changed and I actually am eating steamed broccoli - never would have eaten it before surgery.  To date I have lost 77 pounds, now comes the hard part with the weight loss slowing down.  I continue to have the best support that a woman could ask for. The best compliment that I have gotten is from my daughter.  I was giving her a hug and she pulled away from me and she said "Oh my gosh Mom, I can put my arms around you and my hands touch!"  Needless to say, I cried and still get teary eyed when I think that she has never been able to do that before.  I continue to be aware of what and how much I eat, my life has changed and I am so thankful that I took the step towards living a more healthy life style.
