3 Month Update
Jul 13, 2009
Well today is my 3 month surgiversary! I am feeling so good! As of this morning I weighed in at 218 lbs, which is a total loss of 80 lbs. Sometimes I still can't believe it! My transformation is unbelievable. I have had some major wow moments in the last month! I went to get a massage last week...the 1st one since having the surgery! When I layed down on the table, my arms actually fit on the table with me! Normally they would be falling off the sides of the massage table because I was so big! I know it is silly, but it was really a big deal for me! Another Wow moment was yesterday! I was getting ready for church and tried on a skirt that someone had given me......it was a size 16....that's right, a 16. It fit me perfectly, and I was in shock! I was a tight size 24 when I went in for surgery. People compliment me everyday....especially my hubby. Our sex life is so much better now! Whoa! I am still working out 4 or 5 days a week and feel so good about that! I have been running on the treadmill and am able to run for 8 minutes at a time! Before surgery, I couldn't even run for a full minute! So, that's some of the good stuff....now I'm gonna keep it real and share some bad stuff too!Eating is still a big obstacle for me....my feelings about food are completey opposite of what they use to be. Most of the time food is repulsive to me and I have to actually force myself to eat. When I do eat, I usually feel sick and end up throwing up about 50% of the time. Meat, fruit, veggies...all make me sick. Now I am afraid to try new things, even though I should be advancing my diet by now. I still tend to stick with the soft mushies so I don't feel so bad after eating. I feel tired most of the time, and still nap every day, but try to stay very active. And, although I feel really good about the weight loss and transformation, there is one thing I don't feel good about. The Skin, my underarms, my butt, and my inner thighs are so saggy and soft....they feel like bread dough. I hope that using free weights and exercising will improve it a little, but right now I don't like it at all.
I knew going into this that it was the right decision for me...I never had a doubt or fear in my mind that this surgery was not for me. If I had the chance to do it over again, I would in a heartbeat. The good things far outweigh the bad things and I know in my heart that I could not have done this on my own.
