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!
