two months!!! whoop whoop

[tjharmon 11]

Well--tomorrow is two months since surgery--and WOW what a two months it has been!!! I was so scared to have this surgery--but it has been the best thing I have ever done!!! I am down 55 pounds and have went from a tight size 24 to a nice fitting 14/16. My knees feel wonderful!!! I walk 3 miles a day and have tons of energy!!!

I had a stall that lasted for three weeks, but the scale started moving again, so I am happy!! I'm no sure what broke the stall, but I am happy it started moving again. I am learning to deal with jealous people (slowly) and learning to be comfortable in my own skin (taking longer).

I can eat anything (except sweets)--which I didn't need anyway--My restriction is about three bites--(thanking God everyday for that kind of restriction) I can't drink Protein Drinks (the smell makes me gag)--but I am getting as much as I can from food. I can drink tea and Water all day long-(most days) I have gave most of my old clothes away ad been gifted a bunch of new ones yippee

Now, on to onederland and single digit clothes!!!!!

My biggest enemy, weakness is sugar,i.e. Cookies, doughnuts, all that good stuff. I know of course i can't eat sugar, but does my appetite go away for sugar?

Your doing great...Congrats. Remember...just because you can eat it doesnt mean you should...just focus on the healthy foods and you will be at goal in NO time. I'll be looking for the post you make when you get to goal in a few months!

I don't know about anyone else--my "want" is still there for the bad stuff--but once I get it in my mouth--it doesn't taste very good--so I usually spit it out--I hope it is retraining my body to not want it any more--who knows-- I also have dumping, so they really don't seem to be worth the trouble.

the jealous people are interesting to deal with--my whole family are really big women--they don't have insurance and can't afford to pay for it on their own--they just keep making little comments like--"oh yea, you are looking good, but anyone could that had surgery" "you took the easy way out" etc, you get the idea--some of them I am ignoring and some of them I am confronting--depending on who it is and what they say.

I am really working on getting right in my own head and my own skin--maybe then the comments won't bother me so much...
