I can't believe it!
Mar 30, 2007
As you can see, I am not very diligent about posting on my "blog". It is one day shy of being 4 months post-op and things are going great! I missed support group on Monday so I couldn't weigh then but when I weighed at Dr. Bour's office on Thursday I had lost 5 more pounds...69 pounds in all! I was SOOOO excited! I had to step on the scale about 4 times to be sure I was reading it right!! It's hard to believe I've lost that much weight....and that I am so much closer to my goal! I, like everyone else it seems, am still struggling with looking in the mirror and seeing a fat person rather than the normal weight and healthy person that is emerging from under all the layers of fat. I was looking at a shirt to buy today and I automatically picked up the XL. It looks huge but then when I put the L up to me I was so scared that it would be too tight and also shrink and then it would be too small. Stinking thinking is all it is! I bought the XL but I hope it will be a little big! :-) I am getting more into reading the posts now and hope to really forge some good friendships both on here and in the support group. I need some good girlfriends!

Well, I finally am taking the time to do a "blog." I'm so excited because I just recentyl figured out what a blog is!! I am almost 2 months post-op and overall doing great! I have lost about 41 pounds so far...yea me!!! It has been hard on some days and on other days it seems as if I forget to eat! And for me that is a huge deal! I may have forgotten many things in my life but eating has never been one of them! I have been getting so many compliments...it's nice but I'm not used to the attention and it makes me uncomfortable sometimes. But I'm not complaining! I have been having some problems with tolerating meats in the last few weeks. I just can not seem to make myself slow down, take small bites and chew well. It seems once one meal comes up, it takes two or three more meals to come up before my GI system settles down. I hope this passes because I almost feel bulimic at times. But again, I'm not complaining! I'm looking forward to the new year and all the changes that are in store for me!
