Progress

[Road2Newme3 116]

It's crazy how fast these months went by! I'll be 4 months post op on the 11th! I'm amazed at how much better I feel in both general and also in working out. I'm a nursing student and I'm amazed that after my clinical day (11hrs on our feet) I still want to go to the gym to work out!
It's kind of weird that when I go around in my normal day, I still feel like I look like I'm 355lbs. I don't feel like I look smaller, when I buy clothes and see the smaller size and it actually fits, but I still feel just as fat, just in different sizes... But I can definitely see a difference in side by side pictures. I remember reading from post vsg patients having the same issue and now experiencing it myself is just weird. I try to do a side by side picture at least once a month so my brain can start to realize, I'm not as big as I was. I do love the energy though, and I know my brain will eventually catch up! How is everyone else doing? Post pictures, I love to see all the progress!

I bet it will! That's the best part of the whole thing. I now love to go to the park with my son and run, climb and race with him. I feel like he's happier as well, which was the whole reason why I did this. To be a more active mom for him [emoji4]. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks! I wasn't too worried about legs at first but now I'm worried that they'll keep getting smaller and I'll be disproportionate to my upper body! [emoji31] I do a lot of cardio, so I'm going to start doing more leg strength so they'll get more toned without being too small!

Thank you!! It means a lot. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm living!
