Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 I've had a great 2 months. I feel *so* blessed to have had a complication-free surgery and trouble-free recovery!! I feel normal in that I can eat whatever I want, even a few bites of sweets now and then. No food has given me trouble. I eat meat on a very regular basis. I find that I get very specific cravings for a food or two, and then it passes and a new one will take its place. I just had a thing for bananas, but now my favorite food is snow pea pods! As for my stats...I've lost 38 pounds since surgery (and 53 pounds from my heaviest weight). I've also lost LOTS of inches!! My first month, I had lost 11.5 inches, the second month I've lost 17.5 inches for a total of 29 inches!! WooHOO! (I know that seems like a lot....but I measure in many different places!! LOL) I started out in size 26/28 and now am comfortably in 20's for jeans and 22 for tops. My hubby and friends notice most of the loss in my face and my chest. I can feel the differences in many different areas on my body and can now cross my legs and wear my wedding rings! I have much more energy, my migraines and headaches are decreased (but unfortunately not gone for good--yet), and I just feel better about myself. I think I smile alot more now! I have no trouble with the supplements or medications, but I do need to work on being more diligent with my TUMS. My exercise is pretty regular, but I'd like to see that pick up some more. So those are my two goals for the next month. On the insurance note...still waiting for the check to appear. They tell me it's coming, but still no show. Not giving up, and it looks as if I'm going to have to get squeaky again and bug them til it does show up in my mailbox. I'm really behind on my mail, but I enjoy reading about everyone's successes, and love to see the enthusiasm of the post-ops as well as the pre-ops! To those fighting insurance or some other type of battle, *don't give up*...it is SO worth it...YOU are so worth it!!
