5 Months! (with pics!)
Sep 08, 2010
It's been 5 months since my WLS. Things have been going well. I've been easing back into "real life". I lost 90 and then I hit a plateau for about 2 weeks. Since that time I've dropped another 5. It seems that I'm losing the same amount as at the beginning, My body just has to adjust to it. So I might lose 5 lbs and then stay at that for 2 weeks, not gaining, but not losing. I'm so thankful for the 95 I've lost so far.I've had a hard time adjusting to the emotional differences in my life since WLS. I've realized that being fat is what I hid behind. Now that I look somewhat average, I'm finding people react to me differently. There is definately a fear there that people won't like me. Anyone else struggle with this?
Otherwise, things are going well! School is back in session and I'm a teacher and a student again. The good news is that I'm halfway through my grad program! A new look and a new career, soon to come!
