6 months out

Jan 03, 2010

In 3 days it will be 6 months since surgery.  January 6th 2010 is a milestone for me.  I could not be happier with my progress.  I am down to 164lbs.  Amazing.  I truly could not envision reaching this weight.  I have to do a double take when I look at the scale. 82 pounds of weight makes a huge difference in my health.  I feel so much better have  more energy. It is second nature now to take my vitamins, calcium and iron pills daily and give myself a B-12 shot once a month.  I have been very fortunate other than some stomach acid problems in the beginning which the doctors put me on the right medication for immediately.  And has since resolved I have had a fairly well adjustment to my new lifestyle.  I have only dumped one time a couple of months ago and learned my lesson from that.   Certain foods make me need to lie down and take a nap then I feel better.  That does not happen often though.  It also teaches me to stay away from them.  I haven't had the sugar problems most have either.  Knock on wood.  The weight just slowely melts off it is truly amazing.  I sit in a chair and there is room for another person.  You really get use to doing things differently.  No eating and drinking together.  Eat off of saucers instead of a dinner plate, teaspoons are your friend and really small bowls.  Create you own table place setting  buy cute little pieces just for you and use them when you set the dinner table. 
Good luck to everyone with their own progress towards a healthier, happier life.
