Hey All!! Update on me, in case you were wondering....
Hello all of you wonderful people!!!
I have not been on the boards much lately. Everything is going fantastic. At the beginning of this journey I weighed 251 pounds and now I am 153. It truly seems impossible. I am fitting into clothes I never dreamed I could wear and feel awesome.
I went for my 6 month check up the other day and the PA was shocked at how much weight I have lost. I am 3 pounds away from goal now. He thought I might be a 6 YEAR checkup!! I have had no stalls or plateaus, just the usual slowing down of the weight loss. I have had no complications whatsoever and am now seeing a therapist for eating disorders and other issues that are brought about by this surgery.
It is hard to feel your emotions instead of eating through them. That was something I really didn't see coming. I suppose I should have but I was so focused on just losing the weight that I could not see past the tip of my own nose. It's not an easy thing to go through but I am still glad I did this. I hope like hell that each and every one of you are doing great and wish you all the best. Happy Holidays all!!!
WOW, you have done great, congratulations! I hope that the therapist helps you figure out how to handle any issues that you are having since having wls.
All the best for your continued success,
Sher
