Since it has been so long since I posted, I will post a little update on my "stats"
Date of surgery: June 2, 2012
Today's Date: November 10, 2013
Total: 1 year, 5 months, 1 week
Total weight loss to date: 75 pounds (weight loss has been idle since I began an intensive exercise regimen and I am good with that!!). I have not gained a pound in over a year but haven't really lost too much in a few months!! The inches continue to melt off! That is just fine with me!!
Clothing pre-op:
Pants and tops: 20/22, 1X, 2X or XXL in clothing
Now wearing:
-medium/large in tops
-12/14 in bottoms (size 14 has become a little loose!!)
-1/2 size smaller in shoes
-2 sizes smaller in band width in bra
I have only been sick ONCE since surgery. I had the flu in January 2013 after visiting the Atlanta Aquarium with 10,000 people at Christmas time. I used to be sick all the time!! Even if school was out and I was away from kids. Healthy gut=healthy immune system. I BELIEVE!!!
I am am running over 4 miles in about 1 hour. I couldn't run a block before surgery. I "try" to do a workout class at the gym 3 days a week which consists of Zumba or any of the Les Miles body classes which I love. The days I don't do gym, I try to run.
The ONLY medication I take is Omeprozole (anti-acid) per Dr. Rod (my weight loss surgeon) due to the small size of my stomach. Prior I was taking 4-6 Aleve a day for chronic back pain. Now....I have NO pain!! I was tired all the time and sick a lot. I was not happy or healthy!
I think this is really meaningless to the common reader because the assumption is that this is all a result of Weight Loss Surgery. Just here to tell you ALL......I can now eat whatever I want. ANYTHING!!! I cant eat fast food, drink soda, eat candy or sweets, fried food and crappy snacks......I can eat whatever I want. (Ice Cream would still very likely make me puke but I haven't had any since surgery so not sure). So that means that all the success up there above is a direct result of MY hard work and dedication to this lifestyle. I owned this!! I want this and I love this!!
