8 months -120lbs (~.~)

Jun 03, 2009

Eight months post op is here.  My weight loss this last month has been slow.  BUT I think my body is taking a break and shifting around.  Although I only lost 5 lbs this last month I went down several pant sizes.  I've gone from a 16 to a 12 in the last month.  I haven't worn a 12 in YEARS.  My body looks like a train wreck.  Not with clothes on, I look half way decent, but naked, its down right scary.  LOL  I was shopping for some clothes the other day and I was thinking I can't wear that because of my arms, I can't wear this because of my legs and then I thought screw it, I'm just going to embrace the body I have for now and wear the things that I want too.  Never bothered me when I was 327 lbs, why now?  Eventually I will get the plastic surgery to make me look half way human when I'm undressed but not for a couple of years.  This is recomended by my doctor.  I can wait but until then I say if you don't like what your looking at then you best turn your head. HAHA!  This is the first summer in like 5 that I'm going to wear shorts.  I even wore a short jean skirt to work and got compliments.  I'm going to get airbrush tanning done and maybe this will help out also.  The strangest thing is the people that don't know who you are.  I've had people I've known for a long time walk right by and look right at me.  I know I've changed, but really I can't be recognized?  Weird, I guess when you look at yourself everyday you don't realize how dramatic the transformation is.  I still don't get this part at all.  My energy level is threw the roof.  I can get up early and go until the wee hours of the morning.  I don't even require the amount of sleep that I used to.  This has been my favorite part, just feeling good and not being tired.  Its been a real blessing for me and my family.  I want to shout off the roof tops....I LOVE MY RNY!!!!!! ;) Lou
