2 month Surgiversary!

Mar 17, 2010

Today marks two months out from surgery - yay!!!  I am able to eat most anything I want to within the guidelines.  I have sworn off anything with more than 4g of sugar in a serving.  I haven't had any dumping epidodes, which I hope I can attribute to being so careful about the sugar content.  I am getting about 60-65g of protein a day and remember my vitamins and calcium *most* days.  I have lost 38-40 pounds, depending on which day it is, which is about 40% of my excess body weight.  I have lost 2 sizes in pants and 2 sizes in most shirts.  I have the beginnings of batwings and thighwings (do they have a name?? LOL!).  I already had a pretty saggy panni and it's a little saggier.  Boobs are way smaller but not much saggier yet.  I am walking a mile about 4 days out of 7 (need to increase that).  Knees don't hurt and climbing a flight of stairs isn't torture anymore.  My husband says I "walk" now instead of "waddle", which I took as a huge compliment!!   Last Sunday afternoon, we went geocaching - a hobby we "used" to enjoy until I got to where I couldn't go anymore.  I *think* I am to the point where I can say I am glad I had the surgery!!!!  Thank you to everyone who has sent me encouragement or answered my newbie questions or offered me experienced advice along the way!!!!  Excited to see what the future holds!!!
