one week shy of 3 months post-op

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted in a while; so much to do for kids school and summer

fun!!

Well, it will be 3 months since my surgery on August 15th and I

wanted to let you know how I am doing. I have lost 60 lbs (YEAHHHH)

and a lot of inches! I am down from a size 32 to a size 22/24. I

have alot more energy now and feel great. I am trying new foods

every day and some are good and some are not so good, but I'm

learning!

For the most part I forget about eating and have to remind myself to

have a little something so I don't get nauseated. My favorites are

tomatoes, cucumbers, grilled chicken and boiled shrimp. I also eat

wheat crackers and watermelon. It really is true what they say that

you will start to crave veggies and fruits; I have very little or no

desire for fatty foods and sweets. Just the thought of it can make

me queasy!! I finally feel like the chains that have bound me all of

my life have been removed. I really don't put much effort into this

lifestyle and rarely think about it anymore. I do have to start an

exercise program though (my bad), I know it will increase the weight

loss results.

Weel just wanted to share the good news and I hope all of you are

doing well.

God Bless,
