the 25th

Ok the 25th was my two month anniversary.....which was sat.I could not believe that the time had gone by so fast and how much weight i have lost since the surgery!!!!!!!! would i do this again........THE SURGERY? WELLL.....if you would have asked me the first week out I propably would have said NO......... BUT.......after i got past that first week YES!!!!!!!!! UPS AND DOWNS.......the hardest thing i think about the surgery is getting used to eating high protein meals......although i love eating healthy....i feel better since i have been eating healthier......and taking vitamins. the frustrating part is when i do eat which is not much i seem to throw just about everything up......i feel like geesh i can only have about a 1/4 cup of food why then i can't just eat that...which normally only ends up being 2 to 3 small bites and then it either gets stuck or doesn't agree and up it comes. BUT IT IS GETTING BETTER the other thing is i have become a professional puker........LOL i am off all my medicines had very high blood pressure i took 3 pills a day for it and now i don't take any and i feel great i was borderline diabetic and my cholesterol was high....cant wait to see my numbers in feb. i now do not get dizzy spells if i miss a meal past 12 which feels great and i don't get the shakes......... i love that i can shop in regular stores and i don't have to by the biggest size in there also. i love that when i am out showing houses and i go up a stair case i am not winded when i get to the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was embarassing!!!! i love that also if i have to pee i don't have to run to the bathroom in fear of leaking..........that's gone also!!!!!!!!!! i love that when my husband wraps his arms around me i feel small in his arms now.... i love that when we are intimate i can bend and move in positions....i haven't tried...LOL (sorry if TMI) I love that i have met so many people on here that understand and know what i have been through,what I am going through and can relate!!!! and are supportive!!!!!!!! would I HAVE THIS SURGERY AGAIN.............YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey that's great today is my 2 month anniversary! I would do it over again too! I have not only changed physically, I've got a new attitude and better outlook on life my love life is better and my relationship is stronger (with my hubby) I'm more active I can shop just about anywhere. I've even bought things from the juniors section! I feel good about myself. I'm more confident. I feel so much better. I was on 2 blood pressure meds, 2 meds for acid reflux and 2 meds for cholestorol (my triglicerides were 604 in January 2007) and now the only pills I take are the chewable vitamin kind. I had low energy for about the first 3 weeks after surgery, but now my energy is back. My back really bothered me for the first month after surgery, but now I think my body has started adjusting to my weight loss and the pain has subsided Lovemaking is definitley better! My husband and I can do a lot more in bed! It's wonderful! I went camping over the weekend. I started a cardio belly dancing class. I walk 1 -2 miles everyday. I go roller skating (yes the old school kind of skates). I can keep up with my stepdaughter. Yes I would do it over again in a heartbeat. This has been a life changing event... A change for the better! Thank god for gastric bypass surgery and for my surgeon! I also thank Him for my friends, my family, my husband and ObesityHelp.com. A special thanks to Crystal!
