Two months post-op....30 lbs gone forever!!

Aug 21, 2010

Two months ago today, my life changed forever....and today, I am 30 lbs closer to being thin and healthy!! This was the BEST decision I could have ever made for myself!!

I am eating just about anything I desire, with the exception of salads.  I cant have those until I am 4-6 mos. post-op.  I choose not to eat breads and rice most of the time, but that is not to say that I dont have just a bite occassionally.  My portions are tiny...but I am completely satisfied!  I do find that I am somewhat of a grazer if I dont get the opportunity during the day at work to actually sit and eat the way I should.  I still have some of the same old habits I did before surgery, and I am trying to be "aware" when I see myself begin to fall back into that so that I can do something different to break those habits.  That is something I expect I will suffer with for a long time! 

I dont consume near the amount of liquids that I used to.  Sometimes that worries me, so I try to stay conscious about how much intake I am getting.  I dont want to get dehydrated.  

I am still wearing the same clothes that I was wearing pre-op, but they are all starting to get baggy on me.  I have one pair of jeans that are a size smaller and I am wearing them.  Some of the tops that were tight on me before are fitting nicely now.  And my dress pants that I couldnt button 4 weeks ago are going on fine...

I am beginning to feel really good in my skin, even though I have a LONG way to go!! I cant even imagine what I will feel like this time next year!! It is exciting to know that I am on my way, really! Its not just a dream anymore....
