3 Month Follow-Up today!
Hey guys, been awhile! I've been super busy and have not been checking in with OH, and I have missed many of you! I know how much updates like this helped me while waiting, so I thought I would share my 3-month before and after photo, but of course, I can never see photos properly on OH. So please feel free to go to my profile and check it out! Sorry I can't get it to work, especially since I am not computer illiterate. I click on a photo on OH and I just see a loading image gif for-ev-er. Grr.
Anyway, I'm down ~53 lbs total, 38 since surgery (the photos are pre-op but post-opti). I feel amazing! I take the stairs everywhere, I hike in the woods, etc etc, and I have more energy. I have had to get rid of a lot of clothes! Well, put aside to get rid of, I should say. My BMI has gone from 48 to 41, how about that! Pretty soon, I'll be at a weight that they wouldn't operate on, lol.
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying summer! If you are waiting... read lots. If you are going to get a sleeve... be prepared that you won't be able to relate to 80% of the literature and many of the early on experiences of RNY'rs. But no dumping! ;)
