6 months post-op...

Jun 30, 2012

Well, I am officially 6 months post-op on Tuesday.  Boy does time fly!  Here are some little factoids about what is going on now:

-I am down about 60 pounds from surgery day and 91 since I started this whole journey last year.
-I broke the 300-pound mark a few weeks ago!
-I still don't feel any different physically.
-I am now wearing a comfortable 22/24 and am starting to shrink out of those even.  I started at a 30/32.
-I can still eat a decent quantity but it is still not as much as before surgery.
-I don't dump, meaning I can still eat all the sugar I want without getting sick.  I still try to limit, though.
-I have my first ever boyfriend!!!  This surgery gave me the confidence to go out and find someone to love me and I did!

My doctor is happy with my progress but she and I both know I can be doing even better.  I don't work out as often as I should (spend too much time with Chris), eat out too much (too many dates with Chris), and snack when at work (nothing to do with Chris).  My goals right now are just to work out when I can, make healthy choices at restaurants, and snack less.
