8 Weeks Post Op

Dec 18, 2009

It has been 8 weeks since my surgery and I have lost 42 pounds so far.  My energy level has risen and I feel so much better.  I can't believe that 42 pounds has made this much difference.  I have 4 more pounds to lose to reach a landmark and I am so excited.

I have no regrets with this surgery and have been very fortunate to not have any dumping so far.  I have also learned when to stop eating.  It was very difficult to know when I was full because I haven't felt hunger since the day before surgery.  It has definitely taken awareness of my internal body cues, but it has paid off.

I got through Thanksgiving without any issues and am looking forward to Christmas (next week) with the same success.  We are going to be seeing 3 of our 4 daughters in January, and they will probably be the first family members to see the "semi-new" me.  I can't wait for their reactions.  I haven't been sending pictures to anyone because our camera broke, plus, I almost would rather go with the "shock factor" of everyone seeing a smaller me. 

My husband has been a wonderful support to me and I love the compliments I get from him and the pride that I see on his face.  He is wonderful!!

Merry Christmas and Happy/Healthy New Year!!
