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!
