Hello all,
It has been quite a while since I have posted. My apologies! Been super busy with school! I wish to update everyone on where I am weight wise. I am currently at 129 lbs. Just 9 lbs shy of my goal weight. I have not had any issues with my weight loss at all. No stumbling blocks, etc. I constantly keep it moving. I exercise daily. I started Cizing it Up with Shaun T from Beachbody. Hot dance moves and very fun to do! I love it!
I am 5 months post op and my major challenges have been that I have become lactose intolerant due to the surgery and my tummy only accepts certain foods, no leftovers, and I can not eat the same foods all the time. I am constantly having to switch it up, try new foods or trick my tummy sometimes. I only cook for 1 and this has been quite frustrating for me. Half the time I am not hungry and the other half, trying to figure out what the heck my tummy will accept. I am learning as I go along. Different types of beans is a plus, so my goal is to find different recipes that involve beans. Fun stuff right? LOL! I am a cook so I am up for the challenge. I can not longer eat some of my favorite foods, so I am going through the process of tailoring it to where it is acceptable to my taste buds and my tummy.
I have been thoroughly enjoying this journey despite the ups and downs that come along with it. My health is so much better! My life has truly changed since this surgery and I do not for one minute regret my decision. I am still astonished at how I look now and I absolutely love seeing the look on people's faces that have not seen me since I had the surgery. PRICELESS!! I am down to a size 9/10 I think. Size 11/12 is too big. Actually everything I have is super big and I need a new wardrobe. A very nice complaint to have!!
If anyone has encountered some of the issues that I am having with food, I would love to hear from you and in suggestions that anyone may have to make this challenge a little easier.
