Twenty Months Out

Jul 31, 2009

Just to update...I am down 147 lbs and feeling wonderful. I have so much more energy and nto sweating like a sow all summer...thats such a relief.
I attend support group meetings now and then and have used my surgery AS A TOOL. I still follow the rules regarding minimum of 64 oz water per day, although I am human and some days fall short. I get in 70-90 grams protein each day and I love trying new recipes and eating healthier versions of the ones I used to love laden with fat and calories.  If I find myself slipping with the crunchy carbs at night, I make an earnest attempt to focus on more protein type healthy snacks and surround myself with activity that doesn't focus around food.
I believe some plastic surgery may be in my future as I am grossed out by the remaining skin and have always considered breast reduction, now more than ever.  Even going from 46DDD to 38DD leaves me with a gravity situation and excess skin popping out where it shouldn't in my bra. UGH! Right?
All in all, I am very pleased with my RNY experience and, although I've had chicken blocked twice since surgery, I have never "dumped" or vomitted, so that is a blessing. Life is good.
