Aug 8 - 50 pounds gone forever!!!!
Aug 07, 2011
So here I am... just about two months since surgery.. and I have finally lost 50 pounds!! I am in desperate need of new pants... and the shirts that have been in my closet for the past year with tags on them.. that I couldn't button around my middle.. finally fit me.. and loosely! Its so nice to see the changes.. its really good motivation!I'm having a bit of issues with food now that didn't really bother me at first.. but Ive heard that your pouch gets a bit more sensitive after a few weeks. Chicken is really had for me.. maybe because its to dry or dense... and breads.. although Ive only tried wraps.. but they do not sit well at all! A lot of foods have made me feel sick.. but usually it doesn't do so until about 20 minutes after I finish eating. That makes it hard to know what I can and cant handle... so Ive pretty much stuck with softer foods that I know I can stomach!!! I guess I'm just sick of feeling sick...
I keep thinking I'm not loosing as fast as I should be... but according to Dr. Hagen I'm right on track. When I saw him at one month out.. I had lost 35 pounds. He expects me to lose another 30 to 40 in the next 3 months and I'm already down 15 more pounds since then.... so I guess I'm on my way lol But you cant blame me for wanting it to go faster!!!!
Its crazy how many people have contacted me since my surgery to tell me they are thinking about it or have had it too. I love being able to share my experiences with them, and I hope I am able to give them a bit of insight !!! Don't get me wrong... I have a lot of learning to do myself, but its nice to think I might be able to help someone out when I'm only two months post op!!!
Sorry for my ramblings... I'm just trying to work things out in my head!
