15 Months Post-OP
Aug 28, 2009
and still going strong. I am loving my life and it is all possible because of WLS! I have lost 150 lbs and althought the lbs are coming off real slow now - my body continues to change. I am also doing sooo much more with my life and am soooo much healthier. There is no diabetes, no joint pain, even the depression is gone ...... there were some real low points over the past 15 months and looking back I remember feeling like the emotional titlewaves would never end. But I am hear to say that it definately does end - - so if your reading this and wondering if it gets better - ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS ABSOLUTELY!!! Now I found counselling during this year of rapid change very helpful.... kept me sane.I am still dating my Honey for approximately 6 months and he has been imensley supportive. I at times struggle with this relationship only because pre-WLS I felt soo crappy about myself that I pushed men away ..... 12 years of that and you develop some real maladaptive "relationship strategies" - or as some would know them as disorted thinking/thoughts. I work through these distorted thougths with my therapist and close friends and am amazed how many of them there are and one by one I am breaking them down. I have become more assertive in my relationship as a result - I am pleased to say that we have a very HEALTHY relationship which includes a very healthy sex life ;-) - something else which was non-existant pre-WLS.
Other improvements - I am taking a "Learn to Run" program at the Running Room, I can now do most of the moves in my Bodyflow class and doing some RMP clases (spin). My home is more organized, my friendships are stronger, I seem more connected at work and I can finally buy clothing in a regular store and not just the Plus size store!!!
There is sooo much more to brag about but I will leave it at that right now ..... for anyone thinking about WLS - do it - it saved my life ..... and if your thinking about an RNY - PM me and we can chat.
