almost 6 months post op

Jun 21, 2009

I am now almost 6 months post  op and feeling like Im walking on clouds...I feel soo much lighter!  I started at 289lbs before the surgery, was at 272lbs on the day of surgery, and am now 203lbs.  Now-a-days foods are going down way to easy and so are liquids.  This is the time I think I really need to buckle down and make good food choices.  I haven't been measuring my food or keeping a food journal so I am going to start tomorrow.  It is nice to have all the compliments people give me who haven't seen me in a while...it's also hard to take them too! 

I haven't had any complications throughout this process other than the narrowing and having to have a procedure done at almost 4 weeks post op.  But that fixed all the issues and have been great ever since.  The only complaint I have is the change in taste of foods for me.  Some things I can't taste the flavor of...ie pasta, rice.  But I need to stay away from those foods anyways.

All my clothes are way too big so I just have 4 tops and 2 bottoms and thats it!  At this point I refuse to spend tons of money on a new wardrobe when I will still lose more weight!  Economic times are rough!!!
 
So all in all, everything is going great and at this point I can finally say I would make the same decision to have the surgery.  I feel 100 times healthier and can do more things than I have done in decades.  My daughter and I race to the door or the car...Im not sweating or out of breath!  I love it!  The lose skin on my arms is outrageous though.  I should of exercised more after the surgery but am starting to now!  I know I will have to have the skin removed on my arms for sure...ugh!
