One month later...

Feb 19, 2011

Today is my one month surgiversary. I am enjoying my new freedom. I was imprisoned in a body of fat for so long that I had forgotten what it feels like to be able to move around without pain...to fit in a doorway or hallway at the same time as another person...to not have my stomach rub against the steering wheel of my car.
In the last few weeks I've come to the realization that I can no longer enjoy food the way I used to. I am just starting phase 3 foods, but I found that the foods I used to enjoy are no longer enjoyable. I realize that food is fuel and I can't look at it the same way. I've heard so many people say the same thing, but until you actually experience it you won't know the feeling.
Non Scale Victory (NSV): I purchased a large sized jacket hoping to be able to wear it within the next few months, but when I got home I tried it on and much to my surprise it fit and I was even able to button it up without bumps and bulges. 

Here are my #s thus far...
Orientation weight: 264
1st appointment with surgeon: 256
Morning of surgery: 249
Weight at one month: 227
