One Month - 30lbs lost
Feb 01, 2010
So it has been a month since my surgery and it still doesn't seem real. The food and eating part has been very easy. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I have only gotten sick twice. My first time out to a restaurant with co-workers and ate to much too fast. The second was from getting too dehydrated which has really been my only physical challenge, to get in all my liquids.
The emotional part has been much harder. With PCOS, I would get me period periodically and with this surgery and weight loss it has come back full force and seems my hormones are raging out of control. I am psycho angry one minute and sobbing the next. Add to that I know longer have my crutch of stuffing or swallowing my feelings with my favorite comfort foods and I am really not feeling my self at all. I am still struggling on how to deal with my emotions in more effective manner now that I don't have food but am far from having it figured out. I just have to keep reminding myself to give it time.
Started working out at a gym this week and hope it really moves my weight loss along at a steady pace. I am hoping to avoid stalls for as long as possible. The first month was all just getting settled into the reality of really having this surgery, now I feel committed to doing the work to make it a success.
