2 months post-op
Feb 22, 2010
Well, it has been two months that i have been on this journey. I am starting to notice the difference in my clothes. Other people are starting to really notice too. Even those people who did not know i had surgery. I am not sure what size i am down to because i have not gone shopping yet. Although my clothes are baggier on me, I can still wear them. I don't have much longer in them though!Emotionally this has been a journey. A much harder one than i expected. I feel like i have 3 full time jobs. My job working third shift, full-time school, and learning how to eat again. Some days are rougher than others. My darling boyfriend has been so supportive. Tonight before i left work, I just broke down and cried because i left the milk out and did not have any milk to make my protein shake. I think its just the hormonal shift after surgery plus all the stress i am under. He was so worried and concerned. I love him for that. He is really caring and attentive.
It is still hard for me to eat any more than a couple of bites. Sometimes i forget to eat altogether which i know is bad and will hinder my weight loss. I am doing much better with the protein and the water. Exercise? Now that is another story. I have tried to start. But, I am falling very short in that area. Between work, school, studying, and sleeping, i barely have enough time to pee not alone work out! You would think i could find 30 minutes in my day for this. But, I just don't. When i have down time and could work out, I want to just relax.
I also have not started going to support groups. I really want to start attending, but with my schedule I just can't find the time. Maybe in April i can go. I know there is one Wednesday afternoons that i can attend, but i have Jury duty every other Wed. and it so happens to have been when there was a support group meeting.
As far as my progress is concerned, I am doing well. I have lost 64 pounds since my highest weight and lost 44 pounds since starting the liquid diet. I lost 3 pounds on the liquid diet- So 4 pounds since my surgery date! Not too shabby!
