My 2 month 9 day post op update! Kinda long.

I failed to do a 2 month update, so its late.  Plus I don't post much over here, but I've been getting better!  I lurk a lot, if that counts!!  So I thought I'd share my update with all my new friends here on the PA Board! 

I totally blew off my 2 month update!!  I'm now 2 months and 9 days post op...I'm down to 185 lbs!!  That is 46 lbs down!!  I didn't take my measurements, but I'm in a size 18.  Some of my 18's are getting big.  I can fit into a couple of 16's.  I bought a pair of jeans, size 16, about a week and a half ago, I got home and tried them on!  Wow, was I dejected!  There was about a 3 inch gap to close them!!!  Well, I tried them on yesterday.....I got them buttoned  but there was NO WAY in HELL I was going to be able to breath, sit or walk in them!!  But it felt great to be able to button them!!!! 

I'm getting a lot of comments at work!  I got a comment on Fri or Sat....I don't know if it is a good one or a bad one.  The woman said to me "wow, you look great.  You look so young, not that you looked old before, but you look much younger!"  Some one else said to me today, "did you lose weight?"  I said yes, some.  She goes "yeah, I can see it in your face.  And in your arms, and yeah in your face, wow."!  Gee, do you think she noticed it in my face!  But people at work (customers) have been very supportive and great!  If I've never mentioned it before...I really love my job!  I love what I do and I love my customers!!  There are a few that aren't quite sure why I lost weight and aren't sure how to ask me about it, but that is OK.  Most people that ask, I tell them I had surgery.  Some are shocked and ask if I had the "Lapband" or "Gastric Bypass", I tell them I had "More"....I had more than the GB.  I got the "Cadillac WLS"!!!  Some people ask with concern, and inquire how I am...I tell them that I couldn't have ask for it to go any better!!!  I feel like a DS poster child!!

I'm on a pizza kick!  I've been taking a french bread pizza into work for lunch.  My manager asked me today if I eat the whole thing for lunch, I said yeah...most of it!  She was like, wow.  Her BIL is about 10 months post op RNY, and he has had a lot of problems!  Ulcer, foamies, vomiting, not being able to tolerate much food wise!  So she sees the bad side to WLS and tries to compare me to him.  But on a good note, some one from work emailed me asking me about my surgery!  So, I paid it forward!!

In closing, these last 2 months have been amazing!!!!  I will definitely update at 3 months!  I've been keeping a running total of my weight loss with my ticker, I'll try to keep it updated on my profile!

Thank you everyone for all your support of the past weeks, months, even years!!!  I couldn't have done this and be where I am if it weren't for my OH family!!
