Life after VSG (feels so normal now)

Mar 27, 2011

Just about 170 pounds and a size 14!  It feels so darn amazing just reading the words.  I think I'm starting to look "thin" too.  It took me up until a few weeks ago to really notice the change in my appearance.  Past pictures are scary!!  I knew I looked bad but...wow is all I can manage. 

I just started exercising a week ago and it's going great.  I feel so much better getting my lazy ass moving.  Yes, I am lazy.  I hope to become a workout maniac. 

Of course I have those crazy feeling that this will be it for me.  No more wt loss.  It's not comming off fast IMO.  Part of that is my problem of course.  I cheat.  Yep....eating off plan during the losing phase is called just that.  Cheating.  Nothing even close to my "previous life" but still...I also can eat waaaaaaaaaaay more than most it seems.  At this point I'm able to EASILY eat 1/3 cup dense protein plus some salad (or green beans, etc).  1/2 can of tuna and approx 7 All bran crackers and I'm satisfied.  I've never vomited but do feel "full" many times.  Should I not feel that way? 

I've decided it would be best not to comment much to certain people about my wt.  I don't want them to feel bad or think I'm "bragging."  I want my sil and bestie to succeed but I know how hard it will be for them without a tool. 

I am having low blood pressure issues.  An example: this afternoon with MIL bp cuff 76/50.  Really?  I'm tired of course but hell what's new about that?  To discuss the MAIN issue in the next post......
