ShannonK 266 Posted July 28, 2012 I am not even a full month out (surgery was July 2nd) and I am down like 23 pounds from day of surgery. My clothes are fitting loose and I have soooo much more energy. I am already noticing my confidence returning...and my adventurous nature! The other day, I DIVED off a diving board - 3 times! My children have NEVER sen me do this! They loved it - and so did I!!! Also - we went to the movies, and my butt fit in the chair! My husband - who is 100% supportive and never made me feel less than sexy - is astounded! He is gone 2 weeks at a time - so he sees bigger changes than I do in the day to day functioning....... I am excited...I haven't lost much in the last week and a half, but I have faith. food is not controlling my life, yet I enjoy SMALL portions of really good food that is good for me! I am hitting 60g of Protein a day - thank God I love fish!! 5 MoreganK, tonya9969, Need-a-Sleeve and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UTGal99 327 Posted July 28, 2012 This post made me smile! Great job - so happy for you and I hope to be on the losers bench soon (as I am still pre-op). Yay for you for living it up like a child (jumping off diving boards and stuff). That is the stuff life is made of. FUN! Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izuri 428 Posted July 28, 2012 Yay!! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well =) 3 times off the diving board?! Now that sounds like fun, especially with how hot it's been outside. Your kids musta had a blast having their mom actually have fun at the pool with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
