3 months!!

Wow... I can't believe I am 3 months post-op now. It really feels like much longer. I am so much happier with my decision to have WLS now.... little NSV are really exciting to me. Here's a few I would like to share:

1) Swinging on the swings at the park with my daughter :)
2) Fitting into any booth at a restaurant without worry that I won't fit
3) Wearing underwear that doesn't constantly give me a wedgie (when it's not suppose to, that is!)
4) Having people tell me how good I look
5) Knowing that all of this is just the beginning and so much more will come my way!

So month 3 updates:
1) I'm feeling much much better. I've finally gotten into a routine of how to take all my medications. Nighttime works best for me so I take all my vitamins during the day and my prescriptions at night. I'm on an anti-acid pill for my ulcers, nausea medication, and an anti-depressant which was given to me prior to leaving the hospital. I know if I skip a night or two of medication I will get sick. It's inevitable. I hope I don't have to be on these medications forever but for right now I'm fine taking everything as long as it makes me healthy and not vomit-ty.
2) I need to get better at taking my vitamins. They are SO very important. I've done really good this week with making sure I have got in extra protein and all my calcium. Calcium is my hardest vitamin to get in. I'm also going to be switching from an oral B12 to the shots. No, I haven't done labs yet (yes, that worries me too that my doctor hasn't ordered any and I'm going to force her too next month) but I think it is easier for me personally.
3) Exercise makes me feel good! I just wish I found time to do it more often. With summer activities, vacations, etc. things are getting harder to get a schedule to exercise. I keep telling myself that I've exercised more these last few weeks than probably I did total last year. I can improve and I will!
4) Learning what foods are good with my pouch and what foods aren't has been an adventure to say the least. Watermelon, as wonderful as it sounds, makes me dump. Cantaloupe and me are best friends. I don't do well with eggs but cottage cheese and I get along swell. I have developed a lot of anxiety about eating new foods. I'm so scared to make my pouch mad!
5) My eyes are WAY hungrier than my pouch. I measure out 3-4 ounces, think it is way not enough, and then add more... to only eat 1/2 of the original amount. I'm barely getting 3 ounces a meal in. Liquids I drink in the gallons a day... food just fills me up so fast. I wish my eyes would get on program! Wasting so much food isn't good!

Month 3 weigh in:

Yes, friends, that is a total weight loss of 61.8 pounds since the morning of surgery!

I'm really excited to share my pictures this month! I can see the difference so I'm hoping you can too!

Here we go Month 4! I'm taking my husband's advice and getting a new swimsuit before our beach vacation in less than a month... hopefully my Month 4 pictures will have a bit of a tan! 

Keep safe friends and remember... "nothing tastes as good as skinny healthy feels"!!
