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!!
