2 month check- in

Mar 16, 2009

OK, so on Saturday I was 2 months post-op!!! I still can't believe that it has been 2 months since I had the surgery.  I am still feeling great.  I am eating regularly and not feeling like I can eat out with family and friends and not just sit there and watch them eat.  I still don't eat that much but I am eating more often to get as close to my 80 grams of protein a day goal.
I am down 55 pounds, WOW I can't believe that either.  Although I am down 55 pounds I still have only gone down 2 pant sizes.  I am not sure if it is because I don't things to look tight and give me rolls that I have lost or because that just don't fit me anymore.  Not really sure yet, I know that I am excited to be getting closer to not buying pants with a 2 as the first number in the size. 
My support group has ROCKED!!! I am very lucky that I have such a great support group from people that I work with to my family and especially my hubby...  I know that it is hard for them to notice the big differences because they see me almost daily but it is nice to hear the comments from them when they give one.  I am working on accepting compliments, it has been hard at times for me to not just dismiss them.  I once told someone that I cheated by having the surgery then I realized that the only I cheated was myself before having the surgery.. I mean I never would have thought that after 2 months I would be down 55 pounds and feeling better than I have in years.
I would tell anyone who is considering doing this surgery to really do all your research so that you fully understand what you are doing.  It bothers me to read about people who had the surgery then they don't follow the rules that go along with it.  Or don't know about the side effects from the surgery (hair loss)...  I just don't get it!!!
OK so my first goal of reaching 50 pounds lost has been reached, so now my next goal is to get below 200 pounds.  I haven't been below 200 pounds in about 10 years.  If I stay on track I should reach that goal in about 2 months.  Time really start working out!!!
