Been a bit since I have updated. I am still doing great and feeling great. Food is going great and so is exercise and the bike riding! Although I am sad that it is getting colder out and the days are getting shorter. Soon we will have to bundle up to go for a ride and then it will be dark early and we will have to get the lights out for the bikes, then .....S-N-O-W NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

There is food after WLS and it is good tasting and good for you! So don't you believe people that say you will never eat again, what do they know! I am 2 1/2 months out and I think I eat pretty darn good!
Now for the stats.
I am down to 178 lbs and wearing a size 8 in pants a a medium in shirt or a 10-12
The boobs are really getting small! Never in my life! GASP!
I don't think a day goes buy that I do not get at least one compliment from someone about how good I am looking, mostly people at work, but it is nice.
I have a new found confidence in myself and my abilities.
Things are going great for the hubby and I. Honestly, I am glad we have moved past this surgery and are getting back to a normal life. This surgery can and will consume your life pre and post-op. You have to make an effort to make sure you not only focus on you post-op but pay attention to the loved ones and friends around you. This surgery not only impacts your life but there lifes are impacted too! Pay attention to them. I am lucky enough to have a husband who is not affraid to say "HEY! what about me and us? We need attention too!" He is the best hubby and man in the whole world. I am so lucky!
Take care and stay healthy!
Hugs to all!
