??? I don't know what to title this... Thoughts from me
OK so today is my 10th week. I have lost 51lbs. I am wearing a size 18 pants today!!! I love clothes shopping again and I've missed it.
I read these boards and I post some and I realize how truly blessed I am. I have been on here for over a year now and you guys have helped me when I was frustrated, sad, angry and happy. I am so more energetic than I have been in a long time.
I am asked a lot of questions about this surgery from everyone and I tell strangers on the street about it.
How much weight have you lost? 51 lbs in 10 weeks- do you know any diet that could do that?
What do you eat? The same as everyone else except very little fat and sugar and much smaller quantities. It's ok to throw away food. It wouldn't get to African in time to help any starving babies anyway.
Have you thrown up? Yes a few times, mostly because I've always been a super fast eater and I have to retrain my body to eat slowly, chew better, and stop when I feel full.
Have you dumped? No but then I don't touch sugar. Don't even want to. I do have two sugar free cookies every night.
Do you exercise? Not at a gym or in some routine. I park my car father out. I walk to lunch instead of drive. I shop more. So I'm slowly working on making it a lifestyle change. I realize that I am going to have to work on toning soon but for now with the selling of my house and moving this is all I can do and I'm not going to beat myself up about it.
Would you do it again? IN A NEW YORK MINUTE. I ask myself why I didn't do it sooner. It's not for everyone. I don't talk people into it. It's hard not being able to eat a bowl of pasta which I used to live for. I want the 3rd helping of garlic bread still but you know what....
I'M WEARING SIZE 18 PANTS!!! I WEIGH 229 lbs. I haven't weighed that since 1999 and I'm going to weigh 165 lbs some day soon.
Thank you for your support, friendship and help!
