10 months post op...

7/7/11

On July 9th I will be at my 10 month post-op mark.  I have finally hit where I should be hitting which is around 111-113 pounds at 5'2' inches.  I am getting in 1000-1100 calories a day.  My stomach still holds only a small amount of food and I'm ok with that. I just eat more frequently.  My new stomach holds about 2-2.5 oz of food.  I still don't tolerate steak very well but can eat almost any other protein available.  My stomach still 'sings' when it is working which makes everyone around me giggle.  I do occassionally get heart burn but have learned that it means it's time to put something in my stomach.  That usually does the trick.  

For anyone contemplating having the VSG surgery - I can only say from my own experience DO IT!  I feel great!  Type II Diabetes CURED!  Hypertension CURED!   And the added bonus is that it's really fun shopping for skinny clothes. :)

I am saving up for skin surgery. My daughter said I need a whole body lift.  Excess skin everywhere, arms, stomach, legs, behind and of course... the twins just hang.  Hopefully in a year I'll have the funds to consider tightening everything back to where it needs to be.

Enjoy your summer!
