4.5 Months Out..
Nov 18, 2011
I can honestly look back to my first 2 weeks post-op and say those were the absolute worst of this journey so far. Not even the hair loss that has started compares with the shocking realization that I had no control over my food and my food had total control over me, needless to say this made the first 2 weeks of my post-op pretty depressing and sad. I did however move beyond those feelings and I can say that food doesn't control me any longer.I feel SO MUCH better than I have in 20+ yrs of fighting my weight and would I be happy to stay at my current weight right now for my size... No but you know what my BP is normal, and I have no sleep apnea and I can run up and down stairs without dying, and I can still eat in moderation. I do like finding decent food to eat in my portions out in a restaurant it is like a scavenger hunt now lol. But I can also enjoy some sweets and carbs but I do make better choices and when I fail by eating junk - I don't beat myself up because I am in control now - I just log it and be accountable for eating it and then make better choices from that moment forward.
