ALMOST 3 MONTHS OUT

Almost 3 months ago I had gastric bypass surgery, I have since lost 71 lbs. WHICH FEELS AMAZING! I am absolutely not where I want to be yet, but am well on my way. Its been an adjustment for me, not so much they way you have to change eating, but i'm not realizing when my clothes aren't fitting properly anymore. I understand I'm losing weight but I'm not seeing myself as a thinner person. Not just yet at least. I'm hoping that'll come in time!!

 

I was lucky, I have had no issues with any food. I did have a piece of under cooked broccoli get stuck but was able to move it out with no problems. I am having some issues with acid reflux, I'm sure that's something that can be fixed no problem (probably upping my prilosec) I actually was able to walk around my neighborhood (about a half mile first half down hill second on a STEEP incline) without feeling like I was going to die! What a nice change that was!!

 

I am not in love with my saggy skin (mostly my arms) BUT I am going to try to figure out ways to tone them (I HOPE) I guess if that's the worst thing then I'd live with it haha. All in all I am happy with my results thus far and excited to see what is ahead of me! :)

So sorry to hear of your troubles, especially acid reflux as I was under the assumption that the Gastric Bypass usually cures that. On the flip side, you lost 71 pounds and should be admired for that, as it is so hard to lose in the first place.

Best wishes to you always....
