Out of Touch

Aug 20, 2009

It's been a long while since my last post, which was not very positive. I've been out of touch because I've been so busy.

It turns out that having the surgery is the best decision I've ever made. I'm down 85 lbs now!!! OMG!! I still can't believe it. And the best part of all, I feel great!! I've been camping and travelling and spending lots of time outside with my son. I've taken up gardening, which I never had the energy for in the past. I've even just got a gym membership and itching to use it.

I still have some limitations on food but can eat most things, including some bread and rice!! Sugar content is my biggest challenge but I've found ways to satisfy my sweet tooth without giving myself dumping syndrome.

The best part of all is that my feelings about food have completely changed. Its no longer such an important part of my life. There are so many things that have replaced food on the priority list of my life.

So if anyone is feeling the way I was a few weeks after my surgery, then just hang in there. It will change. I promise.
