what has changedsince surgery????
Ok come on everyone chime in on this one K.....
Since you have had surgery what has changed in your life....good and bad...and the ugly....
Heres mine.....
Since surgery on Dec 9,08....
I have to date lost 109 Lbs.....a preteen....oh my...lol
I went from a size 20-22 to a size 2-4....got into a 2 today...wasnt happy about that but it must be inches and not pounds....
Im soooo much happier with myself....I actually Love myself now and dont have those (I just want to die) thoughts anymore...
I can actually find clothes to fit and dont have to go to the back corner of the store anymore, like some banished bad girl...
Son can pick me up now with out me worrying about hurting him....Im just a free weight to him now...
DH....well thats not fit to write....lol
Bad things....
Everyone telling me that im just bones now....what the Hell....my blood is still as red as it was when I was fat!!
Still obsessed with the scale! (every morning since surgery)...I know, I know a little over the top!! lol
Getting into a size 2, when you was happy with a size 8
Not eatting as well as I should...but still working on it
Losing friends that use to be your eatting partners....but now that you dont eat like that anymore they dont want anything to do with ya...
All in all not alot of bad so far....guess it could be worse
Ugly....
Oh my that saging skin.....yuck.....
Oh my the wrinkles that you never new you had.....they were just streched out do to the plumpness...lol
Dumping when you eat something that you could eat 2 days ago and now you cant!!
Ok your all's turn.....lets see how far this goes....We have to liven up this here board.......
Love and hugs...

I cannot sit on my butt anymore. I have had extra padding there all my life till now. I cannot sit for more than an hour without pain. Watching a movie in my recliner I have to shift from side to side. Thats not my favorite thing about the surgery. I have wrinkles on my butt. Not cute at all.
My face has more wrinkles,they were full of fat before.
Now the good part, I have energy to do what ever I want. I can shop for clothes anywhere. I fit comfortably in airplanes. I feel so much better. I am off all my prior meds. I think people treat me different now, friends and strangers seem to notice me more. I do not think about food all the time. I can say no to bad foods and it doesn't bother me. I feel more normal, I thought I was before but I wasn't. I have finally been able to give away all my plus size clothes instead of saving them for when I regain my weight. I can cross my legs, I missed doing that. I do not mind getting on the scales. I save money on junk food since I do not buy it anymore. I am no longer addicted to diet sodas.
Thats just a few of the nice things.

I have to join in on this one. there have been so many changes its hard to list them all.
31/2 years out finds me being the same person in a different body. I can list a lot of things but will forget some so here goes.
the energy level is so high
some days I work constant all day just keeping busy with inside and grass, weeding and garden.
I have gone from 22 to 10-12 and I am happy with that
I have gone 7 pounds under the goal of 160 that Dr. gaveme and no matter what I do- gazelle, work I stay between 151 and 156. I have decided that will be ok.
I still like to eat but I eat a lot of protein, veg, and fruit. I do not use any sugar anymore nor do I drink any soda. Last week (yes as far out as I am) I dumped on a slice of bread which I did not toast. -I actually threw up. Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoy having people who see me (and have not in a while) be surprised or not recognize me. LOL.
I especially enjoy when my young grandson sees old pictures and he asks his mommy who that lady is and she says thats your nanna. He says no its not.
I hate my saggy skin and my wings on my arms. I even have wrinkles on back of my legs
I hate the apron I now have but I will not pursue the knife again.
I hate how my butt hurts as I no longer have any cushion
Just want to add that I rode all the rides (even roller coasters ) at Worlds of fun after surgery at 69 years old with granddaughter. (I was 1 year out and never would have fit in the seats before. In fact there was lots of room then)
