6 months!
Jul 01, 2010
I had my RNY surgery 6 months ago yesterday! I started at 232lb with high cholesterol and am now 164lb with good cholesterol! I am deficient in iron so am taking extra to try to combat this and more vitamin D3 (dry!) to help with that being a little low. I need to get more labs taken as the list I had done were not comprehensive enough!I am feeling great. My food demons are creeping back in though and I am going to make an appointment with a therapist I saw pre-surgery to deal with this before it gets out of hand. I am losing approx. 2lb a week which is slow and steady for me.
I have been very bad about exercise. I am great with excuses, one of which is the weather in St. Louis. Heat and humidity are not my thing being from England but I have started to push the excuses aside and just do it! I love to walk (hate gyms!) and have started walking at 6 am and even got me some cute exercise clothes!! I am determined to get into this habit and make it stick as I know I want to reach my goal weight and maintain it! I also want to have a healthy heart!
Wow moments for me have been:
Fitting into my 12 year old's clothes!
Buying clothes in the misses section!
Looking at myself in a swimsuit and not cringing!
Trying on some old Laura Ashely dresses from my 20's and them fitting!!
Wearing a size 10 and it getting too loose!!
This has been hard work but worth it! I am grateful to OH and the support it has given me!! It is a wealth of info!
