3 months out yesterday
So I was three months out from surgery yesterday and reflected a little bit on my journey thus far. It has been such a wild yet pretty uneventful ride thus far in a good way I mean. I have had no complications since surgery and feel better than I have in years both physically and emotionally.
The first few weeks were a struggle both mentally and physically, but more mental I think. I was in quite a bit of pain on my left side for weeks after surgery until one day I tripped and fell and suddenly the pain was gone mysteriously by the time I stood up 5 minutes later. It was the strangest thing ever but since then I have been feeling better and better everyday.
Three months out I am down 67 lbs weighing in at am also down about 4 pant sizes and 8 loops on my belt, my clothes are falling off and almost look rediculous but that is ok for now. For the first time in my 6 year marriage my husband can lift me up not that I recommend it but he can. lets just say things have been heating up in the bedroom!!!! lol
I have more confidence now than I have had in a long time, but still plenty of fears. I no longer mourn food nor desire it but sometimes make bad food choices just because I dont feel like working that day. It is not a regular occurance but something I need to work hard to overcome. I know I need to start planning better and keeping logs of my intake daily. I also slack sometimes on my vitamins but levels are fine and I get most of them in everyday but if I get a late start in the day I just cant get them all in. Exercise has been a struggle but seems to be getting physically easier and more appealing everyday. The more I lose, the better I feel doing exercise.
All in all this journey has been such a blessing, I have zero regrets and nothing but good things to say about my RNY. I hope everybody has had a good expirience as well. I am going to post pics now I believe! Thanks for reading this long long blog!

:-) You're doing great. Dang, I wish I had a husband to heat up the bedroom with.. Oh well, maybe some day my prince will come in. For now, I must work on me. Yesterday (the 22nd) was my 3 month anniversary too, so we're all kind of runnin' neck and neck. I was actually born in July (for real) so having this happen in July is kinda cool too. :-)
