FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS OUT

Jan 23, 2009

WELL I'M RIGHT AT 5.5 MONTHS POST-OP AND I'M DOWN 88LBS. THE HOLIDAYS WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME, I HAD FAMILY IN AND I GRAZED QUITE A BIT. MY FAMILY HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOCIAL EATERS AND MY MOM IS SUCH A GOOD COOK!  I HAVE BEEN DOING SO WELL TOLERATING MEAT AND ALMOST ANYTHING THAT I'VE TRIED, I JUST TRY TO EAT IN MODERATION. MY MOM SAYS THAT SHE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I CAN EAT A WHOLE PIECE OF CHICKEN FROM LONG JOHN SILVERS-BUT I DO TAKE MOST OF THE BREADING OFF. I KNOW THAT SHE HAD TROUBLE TOLERATING MEAT FOR A LONG TIME AND SHE IS 5 GOING ON 6 YEARS POST OP.

I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT AT A LOCAL GYM AND I LOVE IT! I'M REALLY WANTING TO TONE MY UPPER LEGS AND BELLY. WHEN IT WARMS UP A LITTE BIT, I PLAN ON WALKING ALSO. THAT SHOULD REALLY HELP. I STILL HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH MY DEPRESSION THOUGH, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S NORMAL OR NOT. I'M SO HAPPY THAT I HAD THE SURGERY THOUGH BECAUSE I'M ABLE TO DO SO MUCH MORE WITH MY KIDS. SOMETIMES MY ENERGY ISN'T AS WELL AS I'D LIKE IT TO BE BUT I AM FEELING SO MUCH BETTER. I HAVEN'T BOUGHT TOO MANY CLOTHES BUT I STILL ORDER FROM THE BIGGER CATALOGS AND I ALWAYS SEEM TO ORDER MY CLOTHES TOO BIG! ONE MILESTONE FOR ME WAS LAST WEEKEND I ACTUALLY BOUGHT A PAIR OF REAL JEANS(NOT THE ELASTIC WAISTBAND) I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS IN PROBABLY 5 OR 6 YEARS!
