10 1/2 Months out

May 01, 2011

Truly cannot believe that I'm 10 1/2 months out already.  All continues to go very well.  I am now down 120 lbs.  As of this morning's weigh-in,  I am 150 lbs. on the nose!  Wow.  How did that happen? LOL.  I never thought that I would ever see 150.  Haven't been there since high school.  And I've been out of high school 36 years!  I continue to eat all dense proteins with no problem, yes, even steak goes down without a problem.    I have been pretty diligent about my eating.  Following the rules as dictated by my surgeon.  I have, on occasion, taken a fingerful of icing, a bite of a cookie or a bite of pie, but honestly I have not eaten a whole slice of anything that I shouldn't be eating.  I often wonder if I will be able to continue to hold this strong.  It is beginning to be a struggle.  The further out I am, the more I want to try stuff.  I fight the temptation, but boy, it is really getting hard.  I don't want to fall back into bad habits because when this malabsorption goes away, I don't want to be left with old habits to battle along with the fact that it will be now harder maintain or lose.  I really appreciate the OH family.  I read posts on a daily basis.  It definitely helps to keep me focused and informed as to what to expect down the road.  I will be back to post at my 1 year surgiversary!  It will be here soon! 6/16!
