3 months out (almost anyways)
Jun 02, 2009
Well, this is my first blog in a really long time...my old computer would not let this typing template to come up for me to be able to post....I am now almost three months out from having my Gastric Bypass surgery....my date was March the 9th, 2009 at New Hanover with Dr. Miles. I got approved rather quickly with no hitch-ups at all... I started this journey October 15th, 2008 at 277 lbs with my first weigh in but after the holidays I ballooned up to an all time high of 282!!! after meeting the delightful Heidi my NUT, I lost down to 262 and this was my weight day of surgery....I dont remember surgery...when I woke up...I was just glad I did and happy for the morphine pump which I honestly didnt have to use but twice that first night. the nurses were awesome and I went home the next day with no complications...I had races around the hallways in the hospital with my hubby...next day, a little rough but not unbearable...walked every couple hours even if for only ten minutes...lost rapidly and had no problems with the prescribed diet...long story shorter(I am writing this for all that wanted to know what I did before surgery btw) its one week shy of my three month appointment and VOILA!!! I weigh 211 lbs....down 51 from surgery and 71 from all time high...hows that for success? I feel and look years younger...no more aching knees, ankles etc. no more depression....diabetes almost completely gone....blood pressure meds cut in half and better than its been in 20 years....I went from a size 18 stretch to a non- stretch 14 a sized 3x shirt to a large yeah, I said it.....in 3 freakin' months!!! I think Helen will flip out Friday at my check up...she had said that my weight loss would be slower as I didnt have alot to lose??? I am only 36 lbs from the Doctors goal weight for me and 46 lbs from my personal goal(although I may have to re-think it as the last time I weighed that much, I was 23. Im kinda diggin' about 180??? so more excerpts from my new life soon.....I would do this again without hesitation(only sooner)
