9 months checking in
Well last week was 9 months out for me. It has gone by so fast. Everything has gone well so far. The only thing that has happened is I got an UTI for the first time and seemed like it was not going to go away. Finally after 3 rounds of meds. it seems to be gone. Yeah! I am almost at my goal. My goal was to loose 130 pounds and I have lost 120 pounds so far. My doctors goal was 90 pounds. Eating has been great, I can eat almost anything. The only thing I can not have is diary. It causes lot of Air in the belly. At this time I'm only drinking water and one cup of de-caf
coffee in the morning. I have tried other drinks but they are so sweet tasting and I don't like them. But other than that everything is going well. I did find a new pcp and I love him. He wants to learn everything about the DS and he said he would be my biggest cheerleader. How great is that. Sorry no pics. I don't know how to load them. Before surgery I was in an size 26-28 and now I am in a size 14 or 16. I'm so excited because I can shop in the little people stores now. The first few trips I didn't know where things were or how they some of the sizes worked or even how to coordinate things together, because when I was larger I didn't enjoy shopping and did not want to dress up that much. Sorry for jumping to one thing and another.
Things have been great so far and look forward to my 1 year check in.
