A happy girl!
Mar 14, 2011
Well, I have been really happy lately, of course just like before WLS I have my moments where my moods change;) I am loving the energy I have, love being able to run around with my kids, climb up in the playground and not worrying what everyone is thinking. I love not getting winded on the elliptical machine, and feeling like a rockstar when I get dressed. I love knowing I can shop at the Gap, and soon, any store I want! I am in a size 16 jeans, down from a 22! I am in a medium shirt down from an xl-xxl! Even my husband has lost weight since I had surgery!I am at 217 lbs this morning, it is strange, I lose a pound a day for a bit over a week, then it stalls for a few weeks, but hell, I will take it! I am staying active, just got a membership to the YMCA, so that when my husband isn't home, which seems to be often, I can still go work out since they have child care. I found a vitamin that I actually like the taste of, one a day gummies, I take an extra one a day hoping to make up for the SMALL gap in vitamin content. I couldn't stomach the BA ones anymore, or the centrum silvers. These ones rock my world!
As far as food, I try hard to stay with protiens, but do indulge in my favorites every once in awhile, just in small amounts! I am happy to have some balance in my eating, never in my life have I felt so good about what goes in my mouth:) I did find out that I have dumping syndrome, which I pray to never get again! I had a bit too much sugar at one point, I got sweaty, but had the chills, heart was pounding, I got dizzy and shaky, felt like vomiting, and basically wanted to die. I am very careful with sugar content now! To be honest, I am SO glad I dump, I know it shouldn't take that to keep me honest, but for now it does, and I am thankful!
I appreciate everyones support, you all make me a better person!
