My surgery was Aug. 10, 2011. I've lost about 60-65lb.s in all. I'm wearing attractive clothes again...not the "fat uniforms" that I used to wear. I still have a problem with "me" & temptation. But I am determined to stay healthy.I can now play with my grand children...get down in the floor...& get up again like I did years ago. Yes, I flabbed at first, but gradually, my skin started to tighten up. I would loose pounds & then stop. Then i would suddenly realize that I had dropped another clothing size. Talk about ":wow'. It was quite an adjustment. When I get tempted, I look at photos that I have in a special file on my pc. It is full of the worst pictures of me at my heaviest weight at the worst possible angles. I open that file & ask myself if I really want to go there again. It's hard in that my head gets hungry (not my stomach!) Boy do me & myself have some arguments!But, now i wore heels...really sharp looking ones...for the first time in years...comfortably. And I can cross my legs again, like a lady. Love it. I feel younger, feminine, attractive again & it's wonderful.
Just follow your doctor's orders 7 take it easy at first. If you have any concerns..no matter how silly they may seem to you, they arn't to your doctor. The more that you know & understand, the better it will be for you & your doctor. You will be in my prayers this am.
