8 months yesterday...
Wow what a way to spend the last 8 months! I had surgery on June 12th with a starting weight of 240 and height of 5 foot 2. I now have lost 110lbs putting me at goal. I am so glad I did this! I have had hunger return but not to worry I knew it would sooner or later. I have been drinking first when I get hungry...then if I think I need a snack I have something (small piece of fruit etc). My nutritionist and surgeon are very pleased with my success and of course I am too. I can't belive that just eight months ago I was wearing a mens jeans size 44 inch waist and now wear a women size 8. I am stepping up the stomach exercises at the gym so hopefully I can get this jelly-belly under control and fit in close a little nicer. I hate to say it but for me this has been easy. I know alot of people say it's not, and I realize some people have a hard time. I haven't though, not complaning. For the first 7 months I didn't throw up once. On that 7 month anniversary I made corned beef with cabbage, and got sick...must have been too much fat. Hasn't happened since though. So I guess I have been lucky. I feel very lucky. I look forward to things now and have recently made efforts to accomplish some things I should have done years ago. So yes I am feeling more confident and energetic.
Hope all is well with others here on the June board, I don't pop in often as there's not alot of traffic here but I will try to more often...although I have found when I post I don't recieve replies but that's ok.
Thanks for listening,
Casey
I just had my 8 month anniversary on the 25th of Feb. I too am pleased that I was able to have this surgery option available to me. Since surgery, I have lost right at 100 pounds, but total weight, since my highest weight, I've lost 118. Or something like that. I'm wearing a size 10 jeans. Congrats on your success!
