3 Month Post Op Update!
Mar 06, 2013
Well hello all of you lovely people out there!
Just going to give a 'quick' update on my progress! I am 3 months post op and feeling FAB! I am down 56 lbs since surgery on 12/5 and since last year at my highest I am down 75lbs!!!! In all honesty- I do not see it, unless I put old pictures of myself next to my new pictures. THEN I see a difference.
NSV's:
** My biggest so far: I went to Disney World last week with my best friend, god daughter, and best friends boyfriend (God Daughters father). I FIT on the plane WITH NO seatbelt extension. HOLY MOLEY! I also fit in ALL of the rides!!! Even the roller coasters at Universall, where you need to 'test them out' in the front of the entrance, to make sure you aren't to fat to fit. I FIT I FIT!!!! It was fabulous. It really was!
** I have a friend who had the RNY over 10 years ago. She is and was such a big support in my decision for the VSG- and I guess I inspired her because she just got approved for a switch from RNY to VSG!! It's a nice feeling to see that even though I am early out, I can be an example for others. I greatly appreciated, and still do, the others who inspired me to do this. I am SO happy for her and can not wait for her continued success, and even better success with this VSG. YAY for being healthy!! 2.
** Clothing of course, I went from 2-3x to an XL in the majority of things. Or a 24/26 to an 18/20 which is even a tad loose! Pants 26 to about an 18 (every style is different, but still!)
Foods: I can tolerate 99% of foods I put in my mouth! Mind you- they're the 'healthy' ones that go along with the 'rules' of what to eat. But, It is exciting! I LOVE salad and I can finally enjoy it again. I pile that protein on it though!! Lettuce is for the extra crunch. Yummo!
So far, I have 0 regrets with this huge life changing surgery I did. It is awesome. Don't get me wrong- there are times I go "I wish I can stop at McDonalds and get chicken nuggets, fries, and a Shamrock Shake. Will I? Nope! Sometimes if I smell certain foods- it makes me gag. Literally. I have to walk away! It isn't easy either. So if you are thinking about getting a WLS, don't fret what other people may think, "that's the EASY way out". No, screw you, it is NOT easy. Is it worth it? TOTALLY =)
Peace, love, and healthy living =)
