Non-Scale Victories - just a few weeks post RNY
So last evening, my wife and I went to the mall, as she needed to pick up something. While she headed her way, she suggested I go to the Men's section and pick up a few new shirts as because of my weight loss, my dress shirts are starting to look too big.
For years, I've worn an 18 1/2 or 2XX shirt. Last night, I was able to buy 17 or XL. I only bought a few as I am just a few weeks post RNY and know I am going to loose a lot more.
Prior to surgery, my morning/fasting blood sugar was running above 130. My Dr was ready to put me on Oral Diabetes medication. Since surgery, my sugar has consistenly been below 105!
Prior to surgery, I was taking 3 different blood pressure meds, 2 in the am and 1 at night, and my diastolic pressure (the lower number) was consistenly over 90, which is high. The Dr was considering changing or adding to my meds. Post surgery, I have cut out one of the am pills (with the Drs ok) and my pressure has consistenly been around 75.
Yes the scale is moving too! I wish I would have had this procedure done years ago! Thank God, I was able to have it now and am truly enjoying some immediate results!

Congratulations on the non scale victory. Today at work.. my pants wouldn't stay up. I had to borrow a drill from the maintenance guy to put a new hole in my belt.
Also.. just a tip.. You can go broke keeping up the wardrobe after surgery.
Two words "Thrift Shop".
