4 Months Post-Op

Dec 22, 2010

I love my DS!!! =) I'm down 39lbs total (7 pre-op) and for the first time in a long time I'm actually enjoying taking pictures again. I've been this weight a million times before, but after being 290lbs I appreciate this weight so much more. Being less than 200lbs seems so much more obtainable now. I'm still a slow loser, but I'm so happy that the scale is moving. I seem to lose a few lbs, then stall for a couple weeks, lose a few more, etc. And if I don't take all of my vitamins, my weight loss stops completely. I need to monitor my carbs more closely, because I've allowed that to get a little out of hand this last month. And with Christmas here, that isn't helping things. But overall I'm very happy, and I know that the DS was the best decision I've ever made. I never feel like I'm on a diet or being deprived. I can eat high fat things guilt free, which is amazing. I have no food intolerances, although certain carbs do give me gas, but generally not the painful kind. I eat less frequently than your average DSer, but with my larger-than-average sleeve I feel it's the best way to keep my eating from getting out of control. If I allowed myself to eat every few hours I would easily eat as much in a day as I did pre-op, probably more. Anyways, I feel fantastic. Can't wait for the next few months to pass =)
