8 Weeks

Jan 04, 2011

Today is my 8 week surgiversary. And I've lost 50 pounds!!! 

I went back to part time at work because I was having a really hard time keeping up without completely exhausting myself. I've had 2 strictures dilated, the most recent one on Dec. 15, and have been fine ever since. Well, it seems to tighten up every once in a while, but if I make sure to eat frequently, even if it's just a few almonds, that helps a great deal. I haven't been able to go to the gym since the stricture because at that point I wasn't getting in ANY calories, I was basically on water for 4 days, and then right after the dilation, I got the flu. So I'm still recovering from that, but once I can breathe again, I full intend to get back in there! I can actually say I miss working out (never thought that would come from me).

So far I'm doing well, just trying to get back to normal, get into my routine, and keep losing. But overall I'm ecstatic with my progress so far!!!
