Almost 4 months after RNY

Jul 31, 2010

What a ride this has been!!! I am loving every minute of it too.  I have gone from 345 lbs to 266 lbs..  I have gone from a 3X in mens to an XL in womens tops.  A size 28-30 in pants to a 20-22!  I am smaller than I was in High School.  I have people telling me how good I look and I am learning how to say thank you.  I used to put myself down all the time.  I think it's a defense mechanism, but step by step I am learning to reprogram my way of living and thinking.  I have lived with PCOS since my late teens and never knew when I would get my period.  Now, I get my period every 28 days like clockwork.  I am no longer scared that I won't fit into a booth at a restaurant or a chair at a ball game or movie theatre.  I look forward to the future and all the things I haven't been able to do and now I will be able to.  I want to go to a theme park and ride a roller coaster.  I want to go horseback riding and not be afraid that the horse will die under my weight.  I want to go zip lining.  I want to go on a cruise and not eat at every meal.  I want to lose enough weight to carry a healthy baby and become an amazing Mommy someday.  I am enjoying being a better wife and lover.  I have stamina in bed now.  I can walk up stairs and not run out of breath after a few steps.  I don't sweat when I walk outside.  I can walk a mile and not even think about it.  I've had bad days in this journey too.  I am still trying to get in my protein and my water and learn to chew my food good enough so I won't get sick, and I still do sometimes, but you take the good with the bad and I will take this good any day of the week.  Life is good and I am enjoying LIVING!!!
