What Im thankful for????
Im thankful that I had the courage to have this surgery!!
Yes I'm still going, I was sure I was done, but nope I think my body needed time to catch up, Im now 2.2lbs away from goal wooohoooo I couldn't be happier, I had forgotten what it felt like to feel so alive and to move with such ease. I have not changed a thing I'm still eating basically the same as I was, still not able to eat over 1/2 cup of dense protein at a time if I'm eating salad I can eat about a cup at a time, but I'm happy and I'm almost half the women I used to be and Im better for it. I do notice that I'm cold more now so I'm not looking forward to these Ohio winters, think that's the loss of insulation lol. but I can put on more clothes and even though I enjoy sitting in the bath tub, I don't have the cushion under my bottom that I had,my butt is bony, I'm not use to feeling all these bones, but thats a WONDERFUL problem to have, if you are thinking about this surgery, just do it. after about the first month I have not been sorry. at about 15 months out my brain still thinks I'm fat, I still do a double take when I see my reflection, and I still try on clothes first that are 3 sizes too big. and I don't know if Ill ever get use to being called skinny. but I'm SOOOOOO happy.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, this year the turkey is the ONLY thing I'll be stuffing. goog luck to you all!.................Connie
