One Year of amazing changes 5-15-10
May 19, 2010
It is now 1 year since my life changed forever with NO regrets with my DS surgery. l was un happy for so many reasons due to my weight along with aches and pains prior to my DS. I am still learning on how my new"plumbing" will react to foods that i am starting to bring back into my" menu". I have days that I eat like bird
then days that I am a bottomless pit. My main goal is to eat anything that is or has protein in it. I still stay away from breads/pasta/tortillas. I have no love for them as I did before my DS. I have learned to relax and eat slowly. I would rush and try to keep up with my family/friends eating lunch/dinner and only to pay the price of discomfort and defeat.
Yes I do eat desert once in a while with NO REMORSE...... no big deal in my life at this point. If I was still 50-60 lbs from goal at one year out that would be a different story. I am at my GOAL so that sums it up!
Labs will be done this Friday 5/21/10. I will post my results as soon as the come in . I am concerned on my D and A levels as they need to come up.
I was in a loose size 18/20 pants and 1x-3x tops(depending on brands) I wear size 3/5 some 7's pants & sm/med tops, shoe size 5 1/2 to 6 I use to fit in 6 1/2 to 7 shoes. I can now wear BOOTS!!! I weigh 113 lbs... I lost 100 lbs
AWESOME feeling I must admit. I shop way too much ...I see it as.... I don't spend it on food...... well YWIM...
My husband is loving my "energy" as I now am not tired as I was prior to WLS. I rarely use my NSAIDs unless my lower back/cramps act up.
I am so grateful to the DS forum and my friends that keep in touch . I don't post every lil detail or issue that may be going on... that is just me (private) but I do read up on the DS forum as much as i can. I love the updates and before and after posts.. So I will do the same and update my pics ....ok real soon! I attend the Paclap meetings once a month and really look foward to them. I feel it is so very important and it helps to learn new things every month plus the Pot luck food is ALWAYS YUMMY!
To all my switch sisters... keep rockin your DS!! May our next year be as successful as we can make it.
Peace & Love
Rose
