11 weeks post-op and counting...

May 12, 2011

it's hard to believe that almost 3 months ago i had my RNY surgery. The months leading up to surgery seemed to drag and now that it's happened time is flying by me! Now that i've gotten myself into the routine of water, vitamins, and protein i'm feeling more back to normal. I'm not mourning the loss of foods as i did before and realize that for the most part, i eat alot of the same things over and over again and it hasn't bored me. Maybe that's what it's like to be on a healthy diet. You don't feel deprived but you also don't feel like you're about to explode either.
I think my weight loss has settled into a bit of a pattern as well. i'm losing approx. 3 lbs a week this month and i'm happy with that. i hope the streak continues at least until i'm in Onederland which is only 11 pounds away now! Its so surreal to me that only 3 months ago i couldn't imagine myself getting below 220 let alone under 200.. but now i do see that as not only a possibility but a fact. It will happen. and that feels really good to say.
On the negative, i got my first cold/virus since surgery this week and let me tell you.. i've been super sick! i was worried about what i could do for myself when this happened but all that worry was for nothing. I'm able to have soup and tea and popsicles and the only thing that's not the same is the 7Up and truthfully i haven't missed it. So yet again i've been surprised by how little my surgery has "hindered" my life... 

Hope everyone is happy and healthy!!
