2 Month Surgiversary

Nov 02, 2009

Today, November 3rd is my 2 month surgiversary.  A lot has changed in 2 months, that's for sure.  I had some issues in the beginning that caused a big delay in me adopting the habits for success with WLS.  I wasn't able to eat properly and it affected everything else including my vitamin intake, exercise (or complete lack thereof), and fluid intake.  Since my EGD on 10/22, I have had a HUGE turnaround.  I can eat, have finally started taking ALL of my vitamins, and I've joined a gym!  I've gone 2-3 times a week since joining and I am really enjoying it.  It sure beats the mundane "walk around the block".  Also, this past Sunday, I went out shopping.  I was having some serious clothing issues - especially with pants.  I only had sizes 22 and 20.  I didn't know what to do since I don't want to buy a ton of clothes that may be obsolete in 2 months.  So, I went to a big sale at JCPenney's and was able to shop in the "regular" section!?!?  I can't remember the last time I didn't head straight to the "Women's" department!  I was being hopeful when selecting a pair of size 18 jeans.  When I tried them on, they were too big!!!  I got a size 16 (well, two pairs actually ).  I can't even remember the last time I wore a size 16 - had to be in college.  And I bought some sweaters/long sleeved tops in XL and L! 

I am just shy of losing 50 lbs (49 so far) and I weigh 200.8 (so close to ONEderland!)  I know I weigh less than when I got married, so my next milestone will be around 185.  I know that is what I weighed in college - I once told a friend and he was like no way!  So, that number kind of sticks out in my head.  I feel like I am just now getting on track with my RNY - I am looking forward to seeing family for Thanksgiving and hear their comments.  It is very encouraging to hear the compliments and know that they are sincere.

Also, on a personal note, my husband and I have decided to divorce.  Things have been pretty tense since we made the decision, but hopefully once we get the papers filed things will lighten up.  Since I am not working, we are all living together during the divorce until I can find work and support myself and my children.  It is going to be a lot of change all at once, but I am looking forward to being happy again.  I will update soon!  Thanks for visiting my blog!
