2 Months Post-Op

Jul 20, 2009

I am 2 months post op now and I feel wonderful! I am down to 250lbs, from 290 on the day of surgery and a high of 312lb. None of my pre-op clothes fit anymore! Life's great! I don't think a day goes by where I don't receive a compliment of some sort. It's safe to say that my self esteem is through the roof.

I've been going to the gym 5 days a week and engaging in 45-60min of cardio each day. I am so full of life and energy, and I thank the vitamin B-12.  :)

I've also had no problem getting my fluids in each day. I drink at least 60oz of water each day along with 20oz of a Diet Snapple of some sort. And most days I also enjoy 16oz of hot tea (usually Chai) when I'm at work.

I've been eating around 500-600 calories each day. My only problem with food is that sometimes I just forget to eat it. I don't feel hunger so I can go a long while without eating. Right now would be teh perfect time to be lost in the wilderness somewhere for a few days, if it had to happen. My short term goal right now is to eat at more regular intervals.

I am very pleased with my progress thus far. I have been working very hard to achieve the results that I desire and now all of the lifestyle changes that I've made come so naturally now. I cannot express how excited I am for the future.

My birthday is this weekend and I'm going to do a little shopping this week. I need a lot of clothes, but I'm not going to waste my money. I'm just going to buy one outfit to go out in for my birthday. I'm curious to see what size I am! I do know that I've gone from a 3X scrub top to a XL (which is actually big on me right now! I have also gone from a 3X scrub pant to a XL. But as for jeans, I don't know. I'll find out soon!
