3 months after surgery

Hi everyone. I am 3 months post-surgery this week. I planned to post here a lot, but find myself not thinking to do it. This new life feels so natural to me, it's truly second nature. I have always been very regimented except for when it came to my size and eating... now it's all finally coming together and I feel 100% in control of my choices. This was like a fresh start/ new beginning that I desperately needed.

i have not touched sugar or non-veggie carbs, and don't think I ever will. I track everything I eat using Baritastic app. I run 2 miles every other day and lift weights for 15 mins afterwards. My body is so happy, and my brain is too. I am so positive now, whereas before I often had super grumpy moments and was much more pessimistic.

i feel very lucky and hope it stays this way. But I wanted to say thank you, because just after surgery (and before!) I was scared senseless and a lot of people here were reassuring and so kind. It's so important to have this kind of community around.

Hi LindyLn:

It's so good to hear that you have had such a positive turn around in all aspects of your life since starting your WLS journey. You really sound like you have fully embraced all the recommendations for success after WLS. I am really so happy for you!

You will serve as a role model for me. I had RNY about 1 month after you. I have had a bit of a rocky start, but I feel if I can follow a new lifestyle like you have, then I will also enjoy the positive results that you have achieved.

Best wishes with your ongoing successful WLS journey!

Thanks for your kind words. Your profile signature says it all: if you've fallen a bit, just get up again. I've had days that were hard, and I've spent a LOT of time grieving what I said gbye to 3 months ago... but grief passes, life goes on. I had to choose to let myself grieve so I could be free of that burden.

You can do this!!!!
