3 months just flies by when you are busy living life!
Nov 19, 2012
So I am just over 3 months post op. I still have those days where I am convinced this is just a really weird dream and I am gonna wake up and still be massively overweight :/ And then I meet up with my friends and they oh and ah over me and I feel that all is right in the world and I am smoking hot. :) To date since my surgery I have lost 56lbs and 70 lbs since the pre-op diet, It is seriously amazing the changes I keep seeing in my body. about 3 weeks ago I went to Macy's just to look in the juniors section, thinking, "I'm almost there, just a little more and I can start shopping here" then I decided, ahh what the hell, lets try on a juniors size 15 jeans and an XL juniors top.....thinking that when I got into the dressing room it would be like trying to pull on a wet swimsuit. To my complete and utter surprise they were TOO BIG! Shut the front door!!! I kid you not. I have been in such a denial about what size I really am and still wearing alot of my old baggy clothes that it never occured to me they would fit. So, this girl is now in a large juniors top and a size 13 juniors or 12 regular bottoms....going from a 2XL top and size 20 bottom 3 months ago I think thats flabberghasting!!! I am soo thankful every day for my sleeve and my surgical team who gave me the tool to live the life I deserve to live. I have my down and up days, I everyonce in a while put something in my mouth that I regret but every day is a learning process. :) Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am looking forward to it this year. I have learned that moderation works and my family has been great about accomodating me and trying themselves to focus on healthier lifestyles! So from my home to all of yours I wish you all a very blessed Happy Thanksgiving!
