Two Monts Post-Op

Dec 09, 2009

Yesterday was offically 2 months post-op.  I'm down about 27 inches and 47 lbs. (since pre-op diet).  Can't really complain.  I wore a "regular" sweater yesterday.  Just a size XL, no plus.  All my pants are too big, even my "new" ones I got from Goodwill.  I found a pair of PJs my son bought me for Christmas a few years ago that I never even opened because they were size XL, and I knew I couldn't wear them.  They are a little too loose right now.  Not a bad problem to have.  I do miss food though.  I miss hamburgers; I miss big, thick, meaty sandwiches.  I miss mindless eating.  Unbelievably, I don't miss sweets at all.  I think maybe it was the protein shakes that did me in on that.  Seems like all I had for weeks on end was sickeningly sweet protein shakes, and I made it through Halloween and Thanksgiving without even the tiniest nibble, so I think I'm doing good in that area.  We had our company Christmas luncheon yesterday, and I made a plate of what I considered to be very small portions and ended up leaving more than half of everything on the plate.  I haven't reconciled in my mind yet that I just can't eat that much.  I am feeling good, and starting to get some energy finally.  I am not getting enough protein still, probably, but I try every day, and it doesn't seem like my hair is falling out.  If it is, I don't notice it because I have really thick hair.  Not much else to report.
