Guest guest Posted October 29, 2000 Report Share Posted October 29, 2000 Yesterday I went to the grocery store and ran into an old co-worker.We were talking and he said " ,have you lost an incredible amount of weight? " I said " 84 lbs. " He kept going on about how good I looked.It was embarrassing,yet wonderful.My Brother-in-law also saw me(Hasn't seen me since 1 1/2 months post-op,and really gushed about how great I looked.What's amusing is that these guys are both very into how someone looks,and I never regarded their opinions highly.It was fun to hear them make comments,though. I am going to do a 6 1/2 hour Jazzercise marathon this week,and pre-op a 2 hour one almost killed me.This is going to be a fun challenge. How I feel about exercise has really changed.It's a treat,not a chore.I leave refreshed and not with a desparate sigh of " I hope that worked " . This morning I shaved my legs and had to stop and look at them,because they looked like someone else's. I'm rambling,but just wanted to point out some nice things that are happening for me.I never thought this would work for me. I thought I'd be the one..... But it is happening. Of course it's not happening overnight,and I can't compete with top losers,but I feel great. There are 3 of us at work who've had gastric bypass. 1 had an open-has lost 140 lbs. and constantly complains things get stuck in her " stoma " . 1 Had a lap RNY in Aug. and has been vomiting almost constantly,has had 3 roux limb dilitations,and is scheduling a fourth,and then me.Down 84 lbs and planning a 6 1/2 Jazzercise marathon. This surgery speaks for itself! Osler RN MGB 2/21/00 272/188 BMI 46/32! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
