6 months and loving life

[thisisthenewme 358]

It's been 6 months since my Band to Bypass surgery and I feel amazing!! Down 72lbs and a new hair cut!

This is me in the summer 2 months before surgery and yesterday while trying on a bridesmaid dress for a friend's wedding in sept. I ordered it 2 sizes smaller Hope that's not too aggressive, but the same dress was VERY tight just a month ago.

Wow!!! I am getting my band to bypass TOMORROW! You are definitely and inspiration! If there are any tips, please feel free... my band was nothing but trouble since I've had it so I don't really know what restriction feels like etc
Congrats you look great!!!

Thank you!
I thought the recovery was harder then when I had the band. But still very manageable. Get walking as soon as you can. Take your pain meds before you need them in the beginning. Take everything else they offer too!
When you're home just focus on resting and letting your body heal. Getting your Protein in is important but will be hard at first. Follow the food plan as outlined. There is no need to rush. Yes it's boring but it's temporary. Listen to your body and stop eating before you're full can 'full' can happen quickly. Any questions you have please feel free to message me
Good luck tomorrow!!
