Well June is almost over. I don't know where the time goes anymore. It used to seem, way back when I was young, that time moved very slowly.Remember the long hot days of summer? So, I don't really get this whole blog thing, I have a couple of myspace accounts...a facebook....so, what the heck thought I'd give this a try. On March 18th I had Gastric Bypass surgery. I have lost 65lbs since the beginning of March. I feel pretty good. I still have a long way to go, but I have come a long way from the beginning. My blood pressure is almost normal, even without my meds(which I never remember to take any more) Most people have been very supportive, though there are a few who think I took "the easy way out". I can see where they would think that. It looks like I loose the weight effortlessly. I have to buy new(well...new to me anyway) clothes every few weeks...I have dropped 3 pant sizes and 4 shirt sizes. It does look easy. They weren't the ones who couldn't sleep in a bed for almost 6 weeks after surgery. They didn't have to "drink" there food for almost 6 weeks. They didn't have gas so bad they thought there insides would explode. They never sit and crave something so bad they could cry and KNOW they can't have it. They don't take 3 bites of there favorite food and not be able to eat the rest. They don't spend hours feeling intense pressure in there chest if they eat too fast. They don't have the foods they normally eat suddenly make you sicker then a dog. They don't cancel plans because they are so constipated(because they can't eat enough to get their fiber) they feel like the they are going to die, or diareha so bad they can't leave the bathroom. They don't have people watch every bite they take and critique there diet. There are so many things that "normies" don't ever see about WLS. I still have to diet and excersize....I still work for my losses. I still stall and wonder if my scale is ever going to move again. And I am only three months out. It will get worse once my "honeymoon" period is over. Oh well, I am not ashamed to say I took the easy way out, I know the differance. I also know it's a huge gift that I am very thankful for.
