6 month update

Oct 03, 2010

Hi.  I'm about six months out from my gastro by-pass.  I am totally pleased with my operation.  I have lost 76 pounds now and am within a couple of pounds of hitting my second goal I made for myself.  I've went from a size 26W top to a 16 misses, and in slacks, size 14 or a medium.  I think I wore a 20 before.  I've had to buy new clothing continuously... I'm buying items more snuggle now... I've learned they get too baggy soon.  I am still losing weight but it has slowed down considerably.  I think I've lost 6 pounds in the last month... but it sure was coming off fast in the beginning.  

I feel good.  I am able to eat just about anything I want to... that is not bread (I can eat toast though), noodles, raw veggies or fruit.  I eat a pretty routine diet with a few treats in there... everything is sugar free or pretty darn close to it.  

I walk every day... 45 minutes.  So far the weather has been cooperating with me but I do have a treadmill for when the winter blizzards hit Michigan.  All I can say right now is... I feel great!  Thank you Dr. English.
