Life as a post-op -- i am now 4 months post-op RNY
Jul 02, 2013
And life is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT! I never knew how happy i could be again. This surgery has saved my life!!!!!! I am now fitting into some non plus-sized stuff... size 18 jeans from a 30/32 absolutely CRAZYNESS! Trying to take it all in still. I went to South Carolina alone at the end of May for a week and had a blast!!!! Things are so much easier being over 150lbs less in weight from my highest. I have now lost 52 pounds since my gastric bypass surgery on March 5th, 2013. My highest weight was 401 lbs and a 62.8 bmi as of this morning i am now 245 lbs with a 38.4 bmi CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I only have 95 more pounds to lose to get to my goal weight of 150 pounds all though i think i would be happy at 170 too i am tall 5'7. Saturday, July 6th is my 29th birthday and what an AMAZING year it has been i am truly celebrating my birthday this year and thankful for this new life i now have.
I cannot believe i have under 100 pounds to lose now and i am only 4 months out. I never thought i'd be here EVER. I thought i would be morbidly obese the rest of my life. I had over 250 pounds to lose when i started changing my life and habits in April 2011. If you were to tell me i would be where i am now i wouldn't have believed you. I get so many compliments these days it's just like WOW! I get told how beautiful i am daily.. heck, people are treating me like a human being again and not some circus animal. Thank you god for this second chance AMENNNN.
