8 weeks post op

Jun 16, 2009

Wow!  Haven't posted in quite awhile!  I am now down 89 pounds since I started my journey and absolutely love my RNY!  I have gone from a size 28 pants and a 3x top to a 14/16 bottom and a M-L top, never would have imagined I would get this far ever!  I have roughly 37 pounds left to go to hit goal.  I still cannot tolerate breads of any kind, still lactose intolerant but am starting to tolerate more meats than initially.  I am still pretty restricted and can't eat more than 1/2c at each sitting.  I also just started really exercising, other than walking, Dr. Mattar didn't release me to exercise til week 7 as I had some muscle pain still and incisions that weren't healing.  So, am now loving going to the gym and feel like crap when I don't go.  Again, nothing I would have said before!  I am enjoying the shock and awe reactions I get from people who haven't seen me since I started all of this, they don't recognize me.  I am also developing the "tail bone" pain that I have read about,lol.  I need to post some new before photos so people can really see the changes I have made so far!
