6 Months Post Op
Oct 13, 2009
Today I am 6 months out. I have lost 122 pounds. I am only 1 pound away from my goal of 175 lbs. I am feeling so good about my new body and my weight loss. I truly love myself again! I am so happy with the decision I made to have the gastric bypass, and would encourage anyone who is thinking about wls. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself.I am trying to think of all the things that I had reservations about before having surgery, so that I can share with others how I feel about those issues now. One of the major things that come to mind is how concerned I was with how my husband would react to the weight loss and if and how our relationship would change after surgery. Ben (my hubby) and I had a very strong relationship to begin with and although he was very supportive of weight loss, he was not supportive of the surgery itself. He was sure that something would go wrong during surgery and he would be left to raise our children alone. After a very successful surgery, he has continued to be my biggest supporter. Our relationship has continued to grow stronger, and he has a new found appreciation for my new body....LOL. And, although he would never admit it, he also has a new found jealousy of the attention that I have been getting. I can't really blame him though.....I would have snatched someone bald for trying to pick up my man right in front of me...lol.
Some of the other issues that I am facing are with my weight loss. I am already at my goal with in 6 months and I am continuing to lose weight pretty steadily. I am at a point now where I am comfortable and happy with the weight that I am right now. I am still eating very small portions and should be at a point now where portions start increasing and my weight should be stabilizing, but that has not happened yet. I try not to get overwhelmed by it and just continue to eat what I can.
I am eager and willing to answer any questions that anyone has for me.
