2 month update

Hi everyone,

Well it's a couple of days past two months for me... my two month surgiversary was on November 1st. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by, and how much progress I've made so far!

I am down (including 2 weeks of Opti) 45.5 lbs as of November 1st. Opti was 10 lbs, so 35.5 lbs since surgery. It's almost surreal to me.

I've had a few bumps in the road, but no complications, so I feel very lucky. My energy is good for the most part now. I'd say I'm back to my old self. Looking forward to having more energy than this even, and tackling flights of stairs with ease. :)

A couple of my surgical incisions haven't healed yet, and were getting infected, so I've been cleaning them twice daily and applying a topical antibiotic prescription. They are showing signs of improvement.

I've been tolerating food really well, and my diet is fully progressed to solids. My bowels are still a bit unstable but improving.

I'm more optimistic about the future than I've been in years!!!

I couldn't see the weight loss, but I could feel it in my clothes. I've gone from very tight 24 jeans to size 20s fitting comfortably, and 3x tops fitting "well" to pulling out my 2x tops I had outgrown. I pulled out some before pictures at a meetup I tagged along at recently, and was amazed at the visual difference. I had my sis take a pic of me today... here you go. I don't think I need to tell you which is before and which is after (at least I hope not!!). :)

Thanks again to ALL of you for all your amazing support!!! ((Hugs))

You look great. Congratulations on your success. Look forward to hearing all your updates.

Can't wait for my turn next year.
