Tomorrow will be 3 months since surgery and it has been a pretty good ride. Still some difficulty with eating (can't consume more than 1/2 cup at best, and not every meal), and water doesn't taste as good or do down as smooth as before surgery. Why? I have no idea.
My surgery went very well. Just some minor discomfort but nothing painful. No pain meds needed at all in the hospital or at home. No gas pains at all. No shoulder pain at all. My incisions were small (dark, but small) and healed up nicely. I did vomit and dry heave the entire time in the hospital which was embarrassing at first... but then I didn't give a damn who heard.
I have lost 42 pounds since surgery and lost 42 over the 3 months before surgery. I have lost 36" inches off this BODY! 10" off my waist; 10 inches off my hips, 10" off my chest and my breast size has gone done a few inches too, in addition to my neck losing 2 1/2".
I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and hitting the gym now (in addition to walking outdoors early in the morning) and working on strength training machines. (Flabby arms and legs). Honestly, I can live with the flabbiness.... the FAT... not so much.
I have a goal of hitting 165, if I get there, Kudos to me. If not, I will be ecstatic to hit the 170's (which I am almost there.)
I never took a BEFORE picture in shorts and sports bra because it was too much of a 'looking-at-a-bad-train-wreck' ordeal for me. But I can now. So here goes:
