I had my surgery 14 months ago. Time has flown by! I dont go on this site much anymore, but when I first started out I was on here several times a day! I'm glad I found it and hope everyoe uses it to the fullest. Believe me, things will be happening to you that you will definitely wonder it it's 'normal' and this site helps you know you are not alone.
I don't regret a thing. But I miss the pounds falling off seemingly like butter. Now I have to work for it. I've become one of those people that feel guilty if i miss the gym too many days! I also used to scoff at people that used to be like 'oh ive gained 5 pounds' Now i'm in panic mode if I gain 3! I just never want to take for granted the smaller me. If that makes sense. I'm in no way 'skinny' but definitely healthier.
Some NSV'S you have to look forward to that i've accomplished. Crossing my legs, Got a new Drivers license with a new picture and weight, I can climb stairs without throwing up or passing out! i can fit in chairs without worrying. I flew and DIDN'T NEED AN EXTENSION!!. Kept up with friends in Vegas (was actually in front sometimes!) I still look at the larger sizes then people must think i'm nuts when i laugh at myself and remember to look for smaller. The lists goes on.
I wish everyone the best on this journey. It's exciting and scary getting to know the new you, but well worth it.
