3 Month Follow Up
Just wanted to post an update on where I'm at. I was 3 months out yesterday and had my follow up with the surgeon last week. All my blood work was great! The surgeon said I was doing so well that I could skip the 6 month check up and come back at my 9 month unless I have problems of course. I had set a goal for myself to loose 40 lbs from pre op diet to my birthday. Well today is my birthday and I exceeded my goal!! From the day I started my pre op diet I have lost 58 lbs and I couldn't be happier. I feel awesome; I have enjoyed camping, going to the amusement park and water park, playing softball in a church league and more... I know I wouldn't have had the energy to do half of what I've done this summer. This is really the best thing I've done for myself! I had wondered to myself if I'd feel normal as far as food situations go, and I actually do. I really don't feel out of place at the dinner table, group camping meals, work carry ins, or resturants....I have sagging skin (and will unless I win the lottery lol), my hair was falling out before the surgery from being pregnant and giving birth so it's thinner (but it's ok cause I got a cute cut yesterday!), I've actually bought smaller sizes off clearance that I ended selling because I've already lost to much to wear them (but that's ok too cause I've sold all of my old clothes on Facebook and used the money to buy smaller ones), we've saved money because we eat out less and when we do my daughter and I share (and my husband orders less because he still has to finish my order). I can truly say I have NO REGRETS!!
