3 months and 50 pounds later...

Apr 30, 2011

Well, it's my 3 month surgiversary tomorrow... can't believe it! It went by so fast... I guess time flies when you're 49! My daughter came into town for a visit this weekend and hadn't seen me since pre-surgery. She was amazed at how much different I look! I love it!

Have been spending a lot of time dwelling on food... just like I used to, but now, it's different. I am always on the look out for low cal, low carb, high protein meals! My family has been on a diet with me without even knowing it!! LOL! I spend a lot of time cruising Eggface's website (theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com) and modifying her recipes to make my own stuff. I still absolutely LOVE cooking, much to my excitement!!

Went to the BMV to get my license renewed yesterday and the woman that took my old license from me said, "Oh my gosh, you don't even LOOK LIKE you!!" She called other workers over to look at my license and then at me! It was embarrassing, but FUN! She said, "Looks like we're gonna have to change your weight for your new license!" I was grinning ear-to-ear.

I get up every day thinking how lucky I am to have had this surgery. It has changed my life. I am no longer waiting to hear that I have developed DIabetes. I am no longer on Lipitor. I am no longer on Maxzide (for high BP). I can walk without panting and huffing and puffing. I can ride a BIKE!!! Never thought I'd do that ever again!! I get stares from men and smiles from strangers. People really talk to me. It's amazing.

If anyone reading this is considering surgery... DO IT! Best thing I ever did for myself!
