12 Weeks Post Op - Update

Aug 17, 2014

Well, here I am 12 post op/15 post opti-fast and am down 67 pounds since I began this journey.  Down approximately 90 overall from my highest ever.  Feeling differences in my clothing, but still contending with body images. It's been a challenge to realize that I am not the 300+ pound obese girl, searching for one item to fit off the rack and adjusting to it's ok to buy something in the NOT plus sized section.  Still an abnormal feeling to me.  Something to get used to, but a happy accomplishment.  The physical transformations are happening quickly, the mental aspects take longer.  Body image swtiching from the obese girl, to the obese girl with flabby skin.... Something I will have to work through.  Few challenges along the way.  Intolerant to a lot of foods, it may be temporary ... I hope.  I don't mind not being able to tolerate the high fatty or sugary foods... in fact I hope I can't tolerate them.  I would, however, like tot tolerate items other than the 2 or 3 items I can tolerate now. [ Chili/meat sauce, greek yogurt (and only greek), and a little bit of potato (very small amount) seems to be ok.] Nothing else is tolerated. I do put beans and protein powder into my chili and that is tolerated, so I am getting my proteins. Beyond that, the RNY surgery is doing what it was supposed to do... melting the pounds off me. Yay...

Thanks for following my journey... anyone who's been reading these...stay tuned for further updates soon :D
