5 months post 96lbs not missed

May 29, 2010

 Well its been awhile since I have posted anything so I figured now was a good time to update everything.  I am 96 pounds lighter and I do not miss any of those lost pounds GOOD RIDDANCE!  I have learned some things since my last post, the most important lesson I have learned is to stay the hell away from chicken of any kind.  I had some baked chicken that I had made myself at home with ingredient that I am allowed to have and I still had problems.  I felt like there was a ton of bricks in my poor little pouch and I was unable to eat or really even drink for about 2-3 days before I finally decided to give in and go to the emergency room.  When I finally got there they ran all kinds of wonderful tests took all kinds of blood and pumped me full of 3 different types of IV solution.  By the time everything was said and done and I was discharged I had spent almost 13 hours there.  Now on to the fun part of post surgery life... When everyone notices how awesome you look!  This past week has been incredible for me everywhere I go I am getting compliments and I am noticing guys starting to check me out (that hasn't been a regular thing in years for me).  Yesterday my husband's co-workers started making me blush they all were so amazed at how wonderful I am looking now and even told me I looked hot! I am no longer able to buy bottoms at Lane Bryant they are to big for me now and I am in the smallest size bottoms at Torrid now! I get to start shopping at Old Navy  and not have to buy the plus size clothing. I can't honestly remember the last time I went shopping in the "regular" size department of any clothing store.  I am finally down to the size I was when I met my husband 4 years ago.  Its amazing what happens when you get comfortable with someone and you pick up their bad eating habits how quickly weight gets added on.  I still have NO REGRETS about doing the surgery other than I wish I could have exercised self control so that I didn't have to have the surgery.
