Well it's been five months since my surgery..and I think I'm doing well. Three weeks ago I was back to see Dr. B for the first time since my surgery and he was very pleased.Since I started this journey with him and his nurses I've lost 86 lbs..actually he said I'm almost doing too well. He originally set the goal weight for me at 200 lbs, but since I was already three quarters of the way there he decided to lower it to 170 lbs. I think that's a good goal but I set one for myself personally at around 130 lbs.
I get on the treadmill as much as I can, usually 30 to 45 minutes every other day at least.
All my old clothes are now falling off of me but I don't have much money to buy new ones yet so I'm constantly hitching them up. My fave pair of black jeans I can no longer wear they just fall right off onto the floor when I walk. That's the one piece of clothing I'm going to keep from my 'fat days' to remind myself of how far I"ve come and what I've done to get this far so I don't fall back into those old habits again.
Either fortunately or unfortunately for me, not sure which I can still eat anything I want, including sugar..so I DO have to practice disclipine and willpower. The only thing that has made me have to vomit is cooked broccoli and potato skins.
I will admit I have on occasion slipped up for instance at my father's 70th b'day party there was some non-alchoholic punch made with diet pop and I had some and a couple of weeks ago I did go out with some friends and have 3 smirnoff ice vodkas and a sourpuss shot..and nothing happened to me..
