Today I am 8 wks out. I weighed in this morning at 316 YAAAY !!! I am down 34lbs since surgey, and down 73 lbs since my highest weight of 389 in Jan. 2010. The weight loss is with this surgery is a little slower than the other surgeries from what I've observed. This is the only WLS I've had so I have nothing personally to compare it to. LOL Anywho.The DS way of life does take some getting used to. I am starting to get in the habit of taking my vitamins instead of forcing myself to take them. It's officially a way of life for me now. I sure do cook a lot more. I used to eat out a lot. I still do at lunch when I'm at work. But most of my meals prior to surgery were handed to me through a drive thru window. the one thing that I can't get used to is all the fat and grease and meats and artery clogging cheeses and cholesterol ... OMG!!! Looking at it makes me think I'm going to keel over in 5 seconds from a heart attack. I have to keep telling myself that it's okay. It's almost grossing me out LOL ! I want some lettuce in my life. I tried to eat some like 2 leaves of lettuce it was not a pretty picture. I was cramping and in the bathroom for half the day. Needless to say I know to stay away from salad for the time being.
I'm kinda glad the weight loss is a little slower because look very healthy.I don't look sick. I'm not going through new clothes sizes every other day, so financially it's not breaking me that way. Hopefully with a slow and steady weight loss the skin won't be as saggy. Just a thought. My grocery bill and vitamins are where the money comes in. If you can buy your vitamins in bulk please do.
How do I feel ? So far so good. I don't feel anything different on the inside. I feel normal , there is still a very slight tender spot when I try to lay on my stomach.
Any other ?'s feel free to ask.
