6 month reflection
It is hard to believe that it has been 6 months since my RNY. At this point I am only 20lbs away from the personal goal that I had set for myself. I have over these months said good bye to 72lbs, and I officially am the weight it states on my DL of 180lbs and weigh less than my hubby. I have gone from wearing a 22W to a 14 in jeans, 1X to an L in tops, and 42C to a 36B in the bra dept. I am finding that there is less padding on the backside, and I have actually found my collar bone. My ultimate goal was to wear my wedding ring again after the past 13 years of not being able to. Well, I can get the ring on, but it is a little on the snug side so with that in mind it will only be a matter of several weeks and it will be a permanent fixture on my finger once again.
My daughter the other day asked me if there was anything that I couldn’t have or that I missed having food wise. I actually had to stop to think if there was, and while I do not miss anything I still find that my eyes are bigger than my stomach so I have to be very careful and listen to my body so I do not over eat. I have found that my fondness for chocolate, while I still crave it once in a while does not taste as good as it used to. This is the same for just about any sweet, while it sounds wonderful; it just does not taste the same as it did before surgery.
I look forward to the next several months and to see what new and exciting things will happen. Thank to all my wonderful friends here, as I do not think I could have done this without your support. Each and everyone of you have been an inspiration to me.
Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
