Mar 12, 2009
Hi everyone,So today is my 3 month anniversary. Exactly 3 months ago, I had the Gastric Bypass and I could not be happier. I am the healthiest I have ever been and I feel so good. I am so thankful for Dr. vonRuden and his team, because they have changed my life completely. I think back to how I felt and what I was going through before my surgery and it is like I do not even remember that person.
I have been getting my supplements in regularly, but sometimes forget. I have a feeling when I go for my 3 month this afternoon, that my protein is going to be low. I am trying, but just cannot get in the protein I need in a day sometimes. It is a work in progress. Exercise has been going well, especially now that the weather is getting warmer and I can go outside and do things. I have not gotten sick in a while, and have never gotten sick from sugar or fat. I went to my annual lady doctors appointment yesterday and my blood pressure was 128/80. That is like perfect, and I felt so proud when they said that. Also, they did not have to go get another BIGGER cuff for me either. I fit the one that was already in there. WOO HOO!!! It is amazing how the little things in life can make you so sad or happy.
One thing that I am noticing now, is that I am more emotional lately. My hormones are everywhere and I will be depressed one day and the next I will be so up and cheerful. I am getting that looked at right now, and hopefully they can stabalize it, but I am not going looney or anything, it is just because my body is going through such a change. My social has definitely picked up, but I find myself still thinking the same way as I did before. I am single, and am looking for a guy, but my confidence is not there, and I am so insecure still. I thought that might be better, but I guess it takes more time.
I hope everyone out there is doing well, and if you are about to get the surgery or are thinking about it, I would tell you to go for it. It is the best thing that I have every done, and I would do it over and over again if I had to. I am so happy and it is effecting everything else in my life!!!!!! Talk to everyone soon. Please leave me some comments if you have any questions or just want to respond to something on my page. Take care!!
