Update for Summer's End 6 months out from surgery!

Aug 01, 2017

I lost alot of my hair! It came out in clumps and was crazy. It has been 6 months and is starting to not lose as much. I weighed this am and it was 182lbs. I feel so much more energized, and less mental grog.  You do not realize how bad you are feeling because it gradually creeps up on you. Now, looking back, I see that I was on a bad road to nowhere.  I questioned the surgery right up until they put me to sleep. I let myself try to talk me out of it, and was terrified. It now seems ridiculous, I was more in danger of death than NOT doing the surgery.

Cravings are still here, but not as intense. You have to watch your amount of food you eat because over eating causes pain and discomfort. You know the foods that make you ill. I no longer crave meat. I like fresh veggies and fruits. I am very strict on my sugar intake. I feel like one time I allow myself to cheat will lead me down the same path I got off of.

Say goodbye to food.  Its really not making you happy.  You just think it is.  What will make you happy is the high you get from a good workout. Its finding those cute clothes you never get to wear. Its finding new hobbies and getting the old ones back.  You are in a prison cell and its your obese body. I can't tell you how many obese people I pass and the saddness is there in their eyes. They look at me as if I don't understand, but I certainly do. Be brave, Be bold.  Follow the rules, every single one of them, and you should be fine.  As long as your doctor has checked you from top to bottom and gives you a heads up....go for it. It is very scary.  I have stomach ulcer and I take my meds. I know when I feel a little pain that I need to go off real spicy foods, and make blander choices. You learn lessons by knowing your body. I learned, and I continue to learn.  Good luck if you are having surgery soon, It is scary. Check your level of committment.  A size 22 lady before and now 13/14 is loose. Its not just the physical, its the emotional part that gets so much better.
